10 Best Attributes Of A Technical Cofounder


#2 How Business and technology decisions intersect

 There are some technical decisions rooted along with business decisions. The overall making of a startup also requires certain technical decisions. For example, ‘Do we need to add more viral loops above other features to increase customer acquisition?’ Startups contain both them and if one dies out it will keep the company left with half decisions, which should never be allowed for.

#3 Specific language expertize

It is seen that most technical cofounders will try to experiment in various languages. This is especially true if the technical cofounder has been around the block for some time.

The technical co-founder will set a strong foundation to the language that needs to be used. Even people will be hired to work with that language. If people are experts in that language, they can gel with the community, getting access to more talent. They can also deal with problems providing end to end solutions as well.

The social networking site Facebook is now using many languages but there is a very strong domain expertise in PHP. This strong domain helped them to build Hip Hop, which is said to increase Facebook’s speed as a whole. Therefore forming a team for Hip Hop would be an ideal example of those with domain expertise in a specific language.
