It was all technical. You know, the weird thing, Derek, and I should probably let you speak some time, but I was deeply technical when I went into Andersen consulting, and I got paid much less than engineers who graduated, because I had a degree in economics. Technical founder. And my specialty was computer networks.

Especially since VC pattern matching may inappropriately label people this way (can’t sell) who are merely nervous or new to their environment. Can your lack of interest or skill in “selling” be counter-balanced by a cofounder or team that’s great at it? Some weeks you’ll be selling more than you’re sleeping!!! Yes and No.

Another idea would be to say matching up. the sort of pain solution match-up process can work. Well yeah, you could potentially find a cofounder. There’s a third alternative, and that’s a cofounder. Edwin: You get a cofounder onboard. Reid Hoffman has some interesting stuff about cofounders.

The Scene Developers Nailing that elusive technical co-founder. Certainly few would argue that hiring is easy, however in my experience the most significant startup talent shortage – certainly in London – comes at the earliest stage: the number of technically-minded founders.

Everything is Matching The real promise comes about as we get better tools for navigating all of this. If you know me - which you might not because you only have a thin relationship :) – you know that I’m going to say that a lot of this comes back to Matching Algorithms. Some days I start to feel that everything is matching.

With their confidence in their startup and themselves, their passion for their work and their mission, and their desire not to harm the fragile dynamic within the nascent founding team, cofounders tend to plan for the best that can happen. But such a best-case approach is hazardous.

How cofounders can collaborate without going crazy. Anything like that where you can just drag and drop to order them, but it’s still linear in time, I feel is at least having the tool match reality. How to move from a free to a paid product without losing all your users. Which is similar, it has less of a SCRUM-my feel to it.

But I didn’t start immediately; I didn’t know optics well, and I assumed that if there was to be a technical solution it would come from somebody who did. So I sat at home for a year to teach myself about optics and ended up founding Light with my cofounder in 2013. Thanks to Dr. Rajiv Laroia, Light ! #38
