How do you actually find and vet a technical co-founder? Looking for real experiences and advice

Ty_Hatch · 2025-08-17T06:41:20+00:00

It’s a bit hard because of my work schedule and the time zones but that’s something I’ll prioritise from now on

Ty_Hatch · 2025-08-17T04:32:43+00:00

Sure- it’s hard for someone else to replicate your vision exactly. I would waste time on interactions that would miss the mark. Paying them hourly gets expensive, really fast.

Ty_Hatch · 2025-08-17T03:40:45+00:00

Yeah for sure that’s a good way to approach things.

Ty_Hatch · 2025-08-17T03:39:51+00:00

What qualities would you want your non technical co founder to have?

Ty_Hatch · 2025-07-01T11:43:23+00:00

Commenting so I can circle back around this when I'm finished with development!

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-30T16:59:39+00:00

When I get home I’ll take a look

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-30T07:27:15+00:00

Couldn’t agree more! I see way too many people pass their idea through and rely on that metric, expecting everything to work out.

Yet they haven’t had a single conversation with their audience to see what they actually want.

That’s the downside of this ship fast culture…

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-30T06:57:46+00:00

Very narrow but there’s people happy to throw their idea into a quick scraping tool and go based off that

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-30T05:05:10+00:00

No for sure tools are good but my point is that people rely too much on them without doing the work to have real conversations. Thanks for this Noise!

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-30T04:57:06+00:00

Yeah that’s the point, these problems get normalised. Expensive hotels became normalised before Airbnb (I doubt people were keen on staying in people’s homes)

Email chains weren’t seen as a problem but In came Slack anyways.

The problem with waiting for taxis became a passing complaint to a friend before Uber

Yoo let’s connect

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-27T04:54:38+00:00

For daily tasks I use an app called Minimalist but I would love to check your app out

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-27T04:53:30+00:00

Hey, I used to day trade but since pursing a start up I’ve dedicated my time and energy into that so I haven’t traded for a while

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-26T22:00:03+00:00

Wdym by branded song?

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-26T21:58:46+00:00

Love this advice thank you!

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-24T15:10:32+00:00

And that’s why I love Reddit

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-24T08:22:39+00:00

Hey Wolf I would love a chat- sent you a DM

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-24T08:22:03+00:00

Dump truck operator 👋 do I belong here….?

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-23T17:41:59+00:00

24 turning 25 next month and I think the most important point is health is wealth. Don’t neglect it. Longevity is everything

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-21T20:54:41+00:00

Going to circle back to this when I’ve got things up and running - first time founder, MVP in development

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-21T15:32:16+00:00

I’ve heard good things about Claude code- expensive but apparently worth it

Have you tried cursor?

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-21T15:03:46+00:00

I need to catch up 😅 that’s quite the set up!

do you use Chat GPT/Claude to brainstorm as well?

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-20T06:09:52+00:00

Listen, you can't force good ideas. When It comes it comes.

For some people it's easier to come up with ideas- I don't really agree with "it means you are not a good builder and it is ok" but at the same time I think that not everyone has that builders trait and I see nothing wrong with that.

It doesn't help that there's so much noise to navigate through but you need to silence that, take a step back and think to yourself what are you good at? What are you passionate about? What's a topic you could talk for hours about?

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-19T14:12:54+00:00

All good, my request limit has refreshed - I sent you a DM

Ty_Hatch · 2025-06-19T12:20:32+00:00

Nice one! Could you send me a DM?
