As a technical founder, I lead the product development, engage with users, and make critical technology decisions, which requires a high level of commitment to the startup's success.

As a technical founder, you need to balance building new features with fixing bugs and addressing technical debt, especially as you approach product-market fit.

When starting a dev tools company, it's crucial to have a founding team composed of developers, as they will be building a technical product for other developers.

If a technical founder is solving their own problem, they may not need a business co-founder, as they are likely capable of handling sales, fundraising, and customer interactions themselves.

A technical co-founder is just as capable of handling non-technical tasks as a non-technical co-founder, as these tasks require general intelligence.

In the early stages, it's often better to have the founders build the MVP themselves rather than hiring engineers right away.

If you're a non-technical founder, having a technical co-founder can significantly improve your ability to assess technical candidates.

As a company grows, the role of the founder changes significantly. You start by doing everything yourself, but eventually, you need to hire people, managers, and executives while maintaining the company culture.

Recruiting a technical co-founder is the most effective way to create value when starting a tech startup, even if you have some technical skills yourself.
