A while ago there was some discussion on what people could do in order to better approach the problem of needing a 'technical' person to help validate & co found their startups.
I have begun to ponder the alternative situation to this. What can someone who is up to their neck in the technical aspects of their idea(s) do to get a 'Non-Technical' partner on board? To keep it simple, someone to do the 'business kinda stuff' while the technical person focuses on what they do best. I know that while I may poses a degree of business acumen, I am more of a product & hands on technical type. I can see the goal, the direction, what sells & will work in the market and love immersing myself in it all, but things like payroll & taxes & funding & (at least in my case being on the far side of the Nullarbor plain from the more active hubs of Sydney & Melbourne) being able to go to the right meetings & talk to the right people, these things bleed me dry. I doubt I'm the only one forging ahead on product ideas who would benefit from having a more experienced 'business focused' person to help manage the intricacies of getting a fledgeling corporation off the ground. Do any of the more experienced entrepreneurs have advice or thoughts to share on this? I'm curious to know what people think about this particular angle since the most disruptive & innovative ideas & products tend to come from 'product minded' & 'technical focused' people, the very sort that may struggle to get their ideas 'incorporated' despite having all the technical acumen or the design skills required to make extraordinary products & ideas come to fruition. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
