If you want to attract a truly incredible co-founder, it’s best to show progress first.
1. A Deck is not Enough. Decks are an essential part of fundraising but not cofounder recruitment. Plus you want a cofounder who is there because of the vision not the potential funding.
2. A Demo is Baseline. Agentic coding means anyone can build and thus the expectation is that you make good progress even before there’s a team.
3. Customers. Outside of building, you can also demonstrate progress with Customer discovery interviews, a waitlist and engaged customers on the beta.
Best of luck out there.
