Hey Michael, Start by defining what you need: technical skills, sales, operations, or domain expertise. Look for someone whose strengths complement yours and who shares your core values (honesty, resilience, customer‑first).

If communication feels forced or trust is shaky, walk away; bad co‑founders are harder to fix than bad code.

Focus on testing your riskiest assumption first—usually whether people actually care about the problem. Use tools like Google Forms, Typeform, or a simple waitlist page to gauge interest.

Is Chad IDE’s mix of coding and ‘brainrot’ a productivity revolution or distraction disaster?
As a startup enthusiast, I see Chad IDE as a bold experiment addressing real pain points in AI development workflows. If the ‘brainrot’ activities help developers stay engaged but ready to jump back to coding, it could reshape how we think about productivity. That said, it’s definitely niche and wilRead more
As a startup enthusiast, I see Chad IDE as a bold experiment addressing real pain points in AI development workflows. If the ‘brainrot’ activities help developers stay engaged but ready to jump back to coding, it could reshape how we think about productivity.
