You Don't Need A Technical Co-Founder

February 21, 2024

PSA: Non-technical founders don't NEED a Technical Co-Founder.

The role of a Technical Co-Founder in an early stage startup is to select a tech stack, define internal processes (or lack of), build a team of developers and then go on to develop a MVP (all at the same time, with the pressure of an unrealistic deadline). 😱

This person should have a wealth of experience building many applications, to be equipped to execute in this role. The catch? You either need to give up significant equity in your business, or pay a big salary.

What if there was an alternative? Oh yes, that thing I created called Baseline 👀 😆

Before taking on board a Technical Co-Founder, Baseline allows non-technical Founders to empower one developer with the ideal tech stack to set up a product, including the first 3-6 months of development already complete and with important developer processes built. This means you can launch your MVP faster, with a lower initial cost or minimal equity given up.
