What is technical cofounder?

A technical cofounder is a founding team member responsible for building the product and technology, often taking the CTO role, and holding meaningful founder equity rather than a salary-only position.

Non-technical founders looking for one should lead with evidence the problem is real, be specific about the skills needed, and agree commitment and equity early.
