Hey Y’all

I’m looking to build a competitor to Varos benchmarking software but need perspectives/advjce on bringing on/hiring ENG talent (my coding ability is very close to none)

I think you could probably charge less, advertise better, and make a killing or get acquired. This is software that doesn’t need VC funds in my opinion.

I owned a DTC business before my current job, but never had a full time developer on the teams

I’m considering going overseas for talent to build an MVP on the Shopify App Store. So…

Does anyone have general advice for finding undervalued eng talent? What sort of stills should I be looking for? What things should I be avoiding?

    Hard to give you any advice since you’re non technical. It’s best to reach out to your network and ask them if they know someone who might help you out. I see other people have suggested questions to ask but what matters is how you evaluate them. And since you’re not technical I’m not sure you can evaluate them in the correct way. In my dev/design shop we get clients mostly from referrals from other people we’ve worked with. If you have more specific questions feel free to shoot me a DM, I’d be happy to answer them.
