What should entrepreneurs know about technology partners?

First, make clear your own conditions.

If you want to find a good partner, you have to keep up with your own conditions. Do you really know yourself?

1, what project?

First of all, you should be clear about what project you want to do. Is this project attractive enough? What are the advantages of this project? Are investors willing to invest in this project? What problem can you solve if the partner comes?

2. Where to start a business?

Think clearly where to start a business, whether to choose a small city or a big city. Small cities have low costs, but there are few technical talents, and even fewer people are willing to accompany you to small cities. There are many technical talents in big cities, but the cost is high. Choose first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou or second-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Xiamen, Chengdu and Wuhan.

3. What are your own abilities?

You should have a clear understanding of your skills, resources, money, learning ability, communication ability, suitability for starting a business, ability to get along well with partners, ability to take responsibility and bear pressure, and sufficient industry knowledge and experience.

4. What can I give to technical partners?

As we all know, 95% of entrepreneurial projects will fail. First of all, technical partners are skeptical about your entrepreneurial idea. They bear higher costs, so they will ask you to pay a certain salary and give you a certain share. Can you give them the salary and shares they want, and can you give them better development opportunities?

Second, what capacity partners are needed?

What kind of ability does an early startup team need to become a partner? Let's talk about it

1, product development skills

General Internet startups need mobile /WEB (front-end, back-end) and mobile (HTML5, Android, iOS, WP, mobile development, etc.). There are many kinds of technologies and development languages. When looking for technical partners, we should combine our own product positioning. What kind of partner do you need? The more you know, the better. The more skilled you are, the better. Of course, at the beginning of our business, we often only have one idea or a demo prototype product, which requires the full-stack development of technical partners. We can get the front end and play the back end, so not all technologies are suitable for being your technical partners.

2. Establish a technical team and a leadership team.

As a technical partner, not only writing code, but also as a manager, we must first build a reliable team and lead the team. What skills do we lack? He needs to know what kind of people to recruit. Especially in the early days, if we didn't have HR and HR didn't understand technology, we needed technical partners to do it, so technical partners should have extensive and rich contacts and be good at dealing with people.

Another point is to lead the technical team. First of all, we should set an example, control the code quality, cultivate the team cooperation ability, promote the project progress and enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the team.

3. Self-motivation and learning ability

To be a good partner, you need to make continuous progress, learn new knowledge and skills, and make yourself excellent. Start-ups are developing very rapidly. If they can't keep up with the progress of the project because of their own conditions, it will drag down the whole team. Therefore, technical partners must be self-motivated and have good learning ability. If you just shout empty words and do things freely, it will be difficult to win the conviction of others.

Third, what channels should we take?

As for finding a technical partner, not all channels are suitable for you, but finding the one that suits you is the best.

1. Relationship channels: classmates, colleagues, friends and family.

I have met many entrepreneurial teams, most of which are composed of classmates, colleagues, friends and family members. You can get your partner without effort, partner. Classmates, family members and friends are all good business partners. If you can form a team with such like-minded people, the result is the best. Of course, if this still doesn't work, you can ask your colleagues, friends and classmates to introduce you to relevant people. It is also feasible to have an intermediary between the two sides.

2. Online channels: Yuan Chuangpai, Zhihu, Weibo, Pulse and Technical Forum.

Yuanchuang School has gathered a large number of Internet and mobile Internet TMT entrepreneurs, including technology, products, operations, marketing partners, designers and investors. It is easy to establish contact with these high-quality entrepreneurs, become friends and start a business in partnership. In addition, there are many Internet practitioners in Zhihu. You have paid attention to the relevant technical questions, you can see their answers, and you can contact again. There is also going to some websites where programmers gather to see who has made similar products or wants to do it, get their contact information and invite them to tea one by one.

3. Offline channels: garage coffee, 3W coffee, entrepreneurial salad and entrepreneurial weekend.

You can go online to participate in some entrepreneurial activities and make relevant friends. There is an entrepreneurial salad that starts with idea. During this period, people with dreams get together to show their ideas, and set up an entrepreneurial project team on the spot, so that a lively entrepreneurial project can achieve a breakthrough of 0 to 1 within 52 hours. There are also small-scale entrepreneurial salons, which can be attended in relevant cafes. These are all ways to find a partner offline.
