Question
I have designed a rather complex (in process and function) messaging application to develop but very simple for users to use, but i am worried that the complexity of the development required might be too overwhelming for a tech co founder. I am looking for an adviser relevant to my problem to consult with.
Answer
I have been building and coaching startups since 1972 and wrote the global bestselling "Startup Owners Manual" and to me, outsourcing your technology in a tech-driven company is like outsourcing your aorta and hoping somebody else's aorta keeps you alive. Your technology/code and your ability to constantly tweak/upgrade/pivot/expand the code base are the heart of your business...i'd strongly encourage you to find a strong technical co-founder with the view that 66% of a good company is worth a lot more than 100% of a crap pile. Hope that sparks your thinking...let me know. Bob
