Co-founder search

Posted in:Elpha in AI Founders looking for Co-founders Advice Tech

I'm in search of a technical co-founder. I'm building software in the A/ML space and would love to find someone passionat about uncovering business models that unleash the power of AI.

I'm using the YC co-founder match right now, but would like to join other networks and uncover other channels where I can meet with folks who might be a good fit.

I'm set on finding a good match and am in no rush, but would like to be connecting with more folks on a regular basis.

What resources are out there that I might not be aware of? Any adivce generally on fundraising as a solo founder? I'm also considering finding an engineer who can build out the technical pieces I need and grow into a CTO role overtime, rather than join as a co-fouder out of the gate.

Anything thoughts & adivce are greatly appreciated!

Hi Madeline,I think finding a suitable engineer that will have the chance to work with you when the intensity is lower, build a relationship over time and eventually grow into the CTO role is a great idea. I had a client looking for a technical co-founder too and I advised her same. Joining more communities and connecting with like-minded people is great. You can check founderkind.com, herconomy.com, which are female focused communities. All the best with your search. Cheers.
