naushadparpia··on Looking for a Technical Co-Founder
All great feedback. Thanks for the honesty.

Yeah I definitely should've said where I was located.

I guess the only way to validate the idea is to build it and see if people use it. I have asked potential users and all have said that they would use a service like this.

The research includes pages, site maps, design thoughts, basically everything I could do before building the product. This helps me also talk to potential technical co-founder to let him or her know that I am just not some crazy guy with some crazy idea pitching to them to come on board with me.

Sure, The idea is "amazon for services" where people can buy services just like products. Email me and we can definitely talk in more details.

Thanks, yeah this was truly spoken from my heart and these kind of things I cannot put on a resume. I agree with Avalaxy that you should really open your heart and describe yourself instead of using mine as a template (which I don't mind you doing if this really describes you).

The idea can be summed up in three words "Amazon for services" . I have talked to seller and buyers and have received validation (but then again its easy for people to say yeah I would use something like this).

If you are interested then please email me and I will share with you the documents that lay everything out.

Are you looking for technical co-founders. I am also open to joining someone else whose idea I believe in. Email me and we can talk more.

I completely agree with you on the fact that months of paper don't really mean anything but it helps me pitch to a developer to let him or her know that I have thought through this idea and it really helped me lay down my thoughts.

I believe my idea does solve a problem but the only true way to test my assumption is to build out something simple to see if people need something like this. I would be truly willing to pay for something that I want to build.

To be honest, this is all good in theory but really hard to do. Its easier said then done.
naushadparpia··on Ask HN: How do you assess pitches from non-technical founders?
1) Dedication: are they willing to dedicate the same amount of hours as you if not more 2) Knowledge: if they are in the business side then look for the school they graduated from, what kind of books they read, and make sure they are good at presenting 3) Personalty: Do you get along with them?
