Terrible advice, 0/10 wouldn’t recommend.

Honestly the author sounds like they like the idea of doing a startup more than a specific problem they want to solve.

Unfortunately this means you’re an undifferentiated untechnical person trying to attract highly in demand talent to work on your vague idea.

It won’t work because both cofounders will have no vision and no strategy that distinguishes them from the massses.

This strategy might work if the person has a proven track record of leading start ups to success. But if this were true, you would raise money and hire technical people instead.

Bafflingly, the author is technical, the CTO. That makes this course of action even more confusing.

These articles are always written absurdly early, too. Reprompt AI is apparently brand new and pre-seed. It's not a success nor has the founder relationship stood the test of time. This would be much better written in five or ten years.
