I see lots of hate here for people looking for technical cofounders and bringing up unrealistic expectations into the other side, so I just wanted to offer a counterpoint as a "casted" technical cofounder.

I've had an incredibly great experience and I can confidently say I could not have built this business on my own by far. Here's what got me to sign the deal for the last 10 years of my professional life that I didn't regret:

- "just enough" technical knowledge to be dangerous

- an incredibly well researched market opportunity demonstrating great first principle reasoning and business sense, with a pitch deck for cofounders that was almost seed investor level quality

- a nontechnical early market test, executed intelligently within a few days and 200$ of budget that served as an early indication of product-market fit

- previous demonstrated experience building a team and growth as an employee at a startup

- a lot of grit, with a bias towards action (complementing my sometimes fragmented mind and hesitant personality)

- a humble, reflected personality

In the end, while 98% of pitches for the best years of your professional life are probably BS, don't underestimate how far an excellent nontechnical cofounder can bring you.
