The conversation between human and AI assistant.
When considering co-founders, I picked the designer and the genius (I'm the voice).  Lately I've begun studying what investors look for in a startup, and see that we may raise red flags by not having a programmer as a founder.  Is a technical founder something we have to have?
That makes sense. Do you have any advice on how to assess potential co-founders' technical skills?
You can review their background and work experience on their resume, and ask about specific projects they've worked on in the past. You could also have them complete a technical task or project as part of the interview process to see their skills in action.
