I am wondering what others think… some podcast says “to want a cofounder so that you get a free software engineer is the wrong motivation”. Ideally I would want funds to hire a senior developer to help with prototyping a solution. An alternative would be to hire a cofounder to do that… as a “free software engineer”, which would actually be extremely expensive in terms of equity.
What do others think? Can a full time senior developer start and lead the development of an MVP?
No wait what. No no no no no.
At the start, coder code, businessman business.
Your ‘CTO’ is just heads down making whatever is needed. You don’t need to be 10x when you’re building out a prototype from duct tape and elastic bands.
