​Finding the right technical co-founder is one of the hardest and most defining moves a founder can make. Do you wait until your product vision is ready? Build alone? Outsource? Or find a partner who believes in the mission as much as you do?

​In this candid fireside chat, **[SkillsRobin](https://bit.ly/skillsrobin) founder Lisa** shares with interviewer [Jack](https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%A6%95-jack-reichelt-876549ba/), CTO of Kumo Study, her experiences of helping founders search for and ultimately winning over technical collaborators.

​Tune in for the missteps, mindset shifts, and practical strategies that helped the founders bridge the gap between vision and attracting the talent for execution.

​💡 You’ll Hear About

* ​How to spot and appeal to the *right kind* of technical partner for your stage
* How to interview for technical collaborators
* ​How to pitch your vision so it excites builders, even before traction
* ​When to partner, when to hire, and when to wait
* ​Common red flags and lessons learned from the early journey

​🧠 Why This Matters
​
A technical co-founder or collaborator isn’t just a coder, they’re a creative counterpart who amplifies your ideas and brings them to life. This conversation will help you reframe the search from *“finding someone to build for you”* to *“building with someone who believes in you.”*
