Sales Guy Looking for Technical Co-Founder

8 points| kylex | 11 years ago

Just an idea I had for a sentiment value analytics program.

How do I go about finding a Technical Co-Founder for my idea? I know this is a very genreal question but I hope to get some valuable insight.

Thank you!

The other comments are solid, and this is one of those questions whose answer probably won't help much in solving your problem (due to its nature, not for a lack of good answers). However, I can offer you some time and insight if you want a technical person in the ML/NLP domain to bounce your ideas off of before you get too far into it. Contact information is on my profile, if you so wish.

Whenever this gets asked, someone always mentions the YC concept of how to find a co-founder.

It should really be:

- Someone you know - Someone you've possibly worked with - Someone you may even consider a friend

Check more on the PG/YC blogs for more info on this.

I definitely agree with this model, and before i work with anyone I would definitely have to do some befriending. The only problem, none of my friends have a passion for business, or have the technical skills for it.

I really appreciate your input.

Instrument your passion for making your idea real. Write some code. Start with tests.

What's your idea?

In short form- an analytics software that analyzes what people are saying and the meaning. yes, i know there many variables and algorithms and it will never be 100% AND there is a way to monitize the data
