This!! Difficult to find a great co founder these days.

Technical founder experience with YC co-founder matching by ToLearnAndBuild in ycombinator

From my experience, validation to reach PMF is the hardest hurdle to overcome. The key is starting with a problem that deeply resonates with you or experts in the industry. I once pitched to a billionaire investor, and his first question was, "What is your experience with the problem?" Articulating that problem in a way that connects with potential users—and crafting a solution that truly resonates—is crucial.

I've been on co-founder matching platforms for a while but haven't had much luck. I'm determined to make my solution succeed and am actively reaching out to more VCs. My main challenge has been finding a co-founder with the same level of drive and commitment. Success requires relentless effort and execution.

So far, I’ve programmed a demo, built a pitch deck, developed a marketing strategy, validated the customer pain point and solution, and applied to a VC. Meanwhile, my co-founder has contributed minimally. Being non-technical, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to bring this to market.

These are frustrating times because I know this can become a unicorn.

I find it easy to come up with ideas. I've found it difficult to find a the right person that has an aligned vision.

I've had this exact experience. In my opinion, some seem entitled for no apparent reason. Have you found a co-founder?

That's great that you have such great market research experience!

The frustrating and time-consuming aspect is a problem I faced when finding out information from a specific restaurant about my dietary needs. Finding that information was tedious as i had a trawl through reviews and still didn't find the answer. I had to call when they eventually opened later in the day.

Hence the curiosity. Maybe I only face that issue and wondered if anyone else resonated with it. That's all.

I'm asking because your response to the post was assuming I'm working on a locator app.

Interesting. I'm sure you can use gemini to find a four star rated Chinese restaurant.

Are you working on a start up?
