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?
I have, but I don't want to dilute my vision for the startup. How can I find a technical co-founder that will understand and respect my ideas?
A good place to start is by attending networking events and workshops focused on startups and entrepreneurship. You could also try using online platforms like LinkedIn or AngelList to connect with individuals in the tech industry who may be interested in joining a startup. It's important to communicate your vision clearly and be upfront about what you're looking for in a co-founder.
