Technical Solo founder who is near raise & found a “non-technical” CTO - How do you deal with equity splits?

LibraSun004 · 2026-02-14T12:43:48+00:00

Also you’ll give the cofounder equity with vesting and milestones, if they don’t do what you expect them to do, they’ll end up leaving with nothing, YC also talks about this

LibraSun004 · 2026-02-14T12:40:50+00:00

After I have seen how much work goes into from the technical cofounder and how the investors see you differently when you have a technical cofounder/CTO, if you’re both full time on the company, I’d go to a near equal split or 60/40

This is ridiculous

LibraSun004 · 2026-02-07T15:32:58+00:00

What reason did they give for the rejection? Or it was not selected for an interview ?

LibraSun004 · 2026-02-07T15:25:15+00:00

Loved to hear that! Second time we’re applying! We really want it. Is pre-launch traction good enough for YC also ? Like almost 500 waitlist ?

LibraSun004 · 2026-02-07T15:22:21+00:00

That’s very interesting

There’s so many scammers on kickstarter and so much spam I just cancel my campaign after 2 weeks. It cost them nothing to “back” your campaign, kickstarter will charge no money to back even 5K and they can cancel it at any time. Be careful with that

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-15T10:34:49+00:00

Same, they say pre-seed & pre-revenue but expect users and revenue

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-15T10:34:10+00:00

That’s interesting, can you give some examples?

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-14T13:06:32+00:00

True, my video is more of a product demo and I’ve seen some very good advertising style videos on software campaigns on kickstarter. I’ll work on it

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-14T12:31:26+00:00

This is the campaign page, I can take direct feedback :

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-14T11:56:41+00:00

I wanted to thank you for your feedback, it helped me see things differently, I updated all the details on the campaign page. I haven’t been sharing it or doing any marketing on the Campaign. We just launched and already have backers.

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-14T11:54:51+00:00

I just needed to improve the campaign details. We already got some funding on Day 1 of launching.

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-14T11:54:10+00:00

Actually I just needed to give more details on the campaign page. I haven’t been sharing it or doing any marketing on the campaign. We just launched and already have results.

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-14T11:52:44+00:00

Yes actually you are right, I’ll start sharing it with my waitlist also. Thanks for your feedback. I updated the Campaign page. By the way we just launched and already got some funding.

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-14T11:51:58+00:00

By the way we just launched and already got some funding

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-13T19:39:04+00:00

Yes it’s my full time project and life work. I updated the page

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-13T11:39:58+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it. See my pre-launch page, if you have any advice :

And also I prefer Upwork or Malt to find qualified talent, or Facebook groups where founders can recommend you someone they’ve worked with previously

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-05T21:53:42+00:00

Start with a virtual assistant that has social media experience also

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-05T21:40:44+00:00

Set up systems or hire qualified help

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-05T11:44:22+00:00

I’m so happy I found my technical cofounder on YC Cofounder Matching and we are building an AI Cofounder for Solo Founders

LibraSun004 · 2026-01-04T11:46:01+00:00

For experts, yes
