interesting. but a co-founder is probably the one thing i don t want to outsource. it s too important and defining for the rest of the life of a project. that being said having a way to boostrap and accelerate an MVP with light resources is interesting
@OurielOhayon agree. Exactly why batch founders pitch in front of CTOs and developers in demo day. We believe it's easier to pitch potential co-founders after you have some traction/validation.

I have just recently come in contact with this product/service and this thread. Would like to crave indulgence of members here for insights.
Some of the commentators were reluctant about outsourcing CTO
1. but how would a non-tech startup get his idea off the ground to which it becomes easier for someone else, including investors, to have a good understanding of the product?
2. most accelerators and investors seem to be more impressed by businesses with tractions, how can a new project in idea stage, afraid of outsourcing development, overcome this hurdle?
3. how and where do you get compatible technical partners, devoid of argument and without wasting time on trivial issues
4. what about the challenge of the technical partner NOT being able to effectively and exhaustively deliver (less skilled than anticipated or presented)?
5. what advise would you want to give a founder with moderate tech understanding (develops website such as https://exhibitorslive.com as a mock for the intended project) but lacks full technical skills to build intended project, a niche SOCIAL MEDIA platform. To outsource or NOT?
Thanks for your anticipated responses

Interesting idea. Seems like a safer alternative to "Founder Dating" sites. I also just saw this company recently https://assembly.com/ they are more of a crowd sourced model and offer other expertise as well.
