I understand that, but being a PM, I outsource my development to freelancer. If you see it from the outside, it's like two people startup. I am in charge in everything else, the freelancer is in charge of coding and build the site based on my requirement
my background is in EE, so HW coding, VHDL, Verilog, which is totally different area than web programming. But for the last few years, I have not done programming as I moved from engr to Product Management
in this scenario, what would you do? As a business co founder with just idea and no product build yet, how would you attract someone technical (CTO) to cofound with you?
Since you are technical, lets say you have been approach by someone with an idea (business person). How could he convinced you that you would want to build the product with him? Assume this guy is no Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, just a guy with no reputation to flaunt.
This question is not to attack your statement. This insight could be important as my next step in getting someone aboard. I am genuinely curious to know your answer as it could give me insights on how technical people thinks.
