How advisable is it to outsource full stack development if you're a solo founder?
As a non technical founder, i can go as far as prototyping an app on figma, or make detailed wireframes of what I want the app to be. Right now, after months of brainstorming and research, I would say I have a pretty good idea of what i want the app to be and what the functions of the app are. But I'm new to the startup world, and I'm at a stage where I'm supposed to choose one of the three options with their own pros and cons:
-
Find a technical cofounder for full stack development. It's very difficult to find someone with the same mindset and vision as me, but if I do, then this can be the best solution out of the three.
-
Learn either front end or back end or both. It's very time consuming especially when I'm in my final year of my bachelor's and doesn't really make sense (as advised by another founder of a pretty big startup)
-
Outsourcing dev. Lack of funding, IP issues, and communication gaps.
It would be great if someone who's already in the startup world to guide me with this or give me advise on what next step for me would be the most beneficial.
