Tech help for non-tech startup founders
1 point by hooeezit on April 17, 2012 | hide | past | favorite
I've recently read a lot of articles lately about startup founders without technical backgrounds looking for 'technical cofounders' and a few suggesting learning to code since all the good techies are earning fat salaries at established companies these days, or are busy implementing their own ideas.

I'm a techy myself. I've built quite a few products, but only one in my own startup. I have an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and a graduate degree in computer science. I've consulted on new product development for companies ranging from Fortune 500 (Cummins, Boston Scientific) to a 2 person mom-and-pop (literally).

I've been based out of Minneapolis most of the last 10 years, but am currently in India. In brainstorming business opportunities leveraging my skillset, the option of providing technical help to non-tech founders came up as a strong contender.

So, non-tech founders (or understaffed techy founders) on Hacker News, would you consider outsourcing development to a company run by a guy like me who understands product development in the American+international context? If you will, where should I place myself so you can reach me?
