Startup Technical Strategy without a Technical Co-founder

​Are you a non-technical founder in search of a technical co-founder?

​Are you struggling with hiring your first engineer or CTO?

​Are you trying to figure out how to work best with your engineers?

​Think of me as your interim technical co-founder. Throughout the series, I’ll share tips on:

• ​Hiring strategies - how to attract technical talent

• ​Technical strategies for your startup - MVP building

• ​Communicating with technical people - engineers, technical founders, or contractors

​In the first session, I’ll take a deep dive into:

• ​Finding a technical co-founder vs. a CTO

• ​Full-time Engineers vs. contractors

• ​How to write an attractive job description

​This will be an interactive session, and I’ll ask for volunteers to work through real-life scenarios.

​Speaker: Jean Lee

​I’ve been working as a Software Engineer and Manager for the past 10+ years. Most recently, I was the 19th engineer at WhatsApp, prior to the $18 billion acquisition by Facebook. I have experience building teams from scratch and growing a new engineering office from 0 to 100.

​There will be a Q&A after a brief talk. Please join this slack channel to share your questions in advance.
