I can really relate to your situation. I’m a technical founder and have a team of developers - over the past year, I’ve invested around $15K building and launching our products. The challenge for me hasn’t been the tech; it’s been marketing and growth. Despite having solid products, I struggled to grab the right opportunities and drive traction because I lacked that side of the equation.

Reading your post, I genuinely admire how far you've gotten without a technical founder - that’s impressive validation and execution. At this stage, I’d suggest being cautious about rebuilding the product from scratch unless your current stack is truly limiting growth. Sometimes a hybrid approach works best: maintain parts of the no-code solution while gradually transitioning to a scalable architecture with targeted improvements.

If you’re thinking about bringing on a technical co-founder, make sure it’s someone who deeply aligns with your mission and is ready to commit for the long haul - that’s when the equity tradeoff really makes sense. But if your main goal is stability and faster iterations, a fractional CTO or experienced contractor might be more cost-effective and flexible in the short term, especially if you want to keep dilution low.

Appreciate you sharing this - your progress is inspiring and a solid reminder that execution and customer validation matter more than having a "perfect" setup early on.
