Cofounder Mode: My tactical guide to finding a cofounder

Am I missing something, or are HN readers assuming (incorrectly) the author is non-technical and looking for someone to build out their ideas?

From what I can see, the author is a CTO who is ex-meta and Stanford computer science. They look like a technical co-founder to me.

I know there's this annoying and widely prevalent persona of co-founder dater with only ideas, and no skills to build them, but this author doesn't seem to be that.

If the example is something like this: "I am non-technical and can handle Sales, Marketing, and Product. " it does seem to be written from a non-technical person.

Ex-meta doesn't mean anything. As far as i know manager / non technical people work at meta as in any other 'tech' company.

I think that was written as a generic, illustrative example. That Example was also for healthtech, which OP is not.

Yes ex-Meta could imply non-technical, but OP is a CTO with a Stanford computer science degree. Their job title and skills are technical.

If you take a look at the Linkedin resume it seems his last technical job was 12 years ago and in an unrelated area to what he's currently trying to build. All in all his on-hands professional software engineering work seems to be limited to 2-4 years. Most of his experience seems to be product-related type work, including his work at Meta.

Combined with him calling himself a non-technical founder it seems pretty on point. He's not looking to be coding and making all the nitty gritty engineering decisions, there are better people for that in his opinion. Which is totally fine.

You are correct. Thanks for defending me a bit on the internet Yaseer! Also going to ping you offline, your company looks great and relevant to us.
