Ask HN: Techy with a basic MVP, how do I find a partner?
Hi,
As I said in the title, I have a basic MVP for a product which I think is likely to be very valuable to many colleges and University. Ideally as a techy, I'd like someone with more of a business background to help with the sales, etc.
I'm also not sure whether I should be going for funding. My understanding is that you should really only look for funding if you need it, but what does that mean? I need money to survive and if I had funding I could dedicate more of my time to this and not need to worry about running out of money.
Does anyone know a good way to find someone to help me with the business side of things? Is there a good website I should know of, are meetups the way to go, or perhaps you know some better way? I'm from the UK by the way.
I have no personal contacts which would be of any help unfortunately.
