Wow thank you so much Malcolm! I will definitely reach out via email. I'm pretty new to the city, good to meet and network with new people, and I'll check out the ones you listed. Appreciate all your help.
Great advice. Thank you. Angellist is on my list! And love Malcolm Gladwell. I've been reaching out to my network. I'm in LA, and have signed up for a bunch of Meet Ups, just hard to know which ones are worth attending in a city that is so spread out. I noticed you are in LA too, let me know if you know of any worth noting. Thank you!
Great article! Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, finding someone I have worked with before and I think would be a good fit, isn't an option. I've been asking friends of friends for referrals and starting to look into networking with different developer groups. For now I'm outsourcing a prototype, and hoping I can find someone before I put together an MVP so the developer doesn't inherit someone else's code.
I agree with your points. Hustle is key. That's where I am at at this point. Putting together a prototype and working towards a MVP. The struggle is not only finding someone who has the skill set, and the drive, but also someone you want to build something with, and match personality wise. It's like a marriage.
