Comment on Ask HN: Confessions of a Non-Tech Co-Founder in Health-Tech

Comments

I'm a doctor and I do tech (details in my profile). I might have missed this by skimming quickly, but it isn't clear to me whether you are creating a new startup without your current co-founders, or whether you want to bring in new people with your current group.

Actually, it's not totally clear what the relationship is between you and the "technical guys" - are they co-founders, hired hands, etc? More clarity there would be useful, I think if you're looking for people from this community to potentially join you.

Tl;dr: creating a new startup and having them join when they finish school.

Allow me to clarify:

The relationship has been amicable, as these were peers of mine from grad school (one going all the way back to middle school). Although we began hashing this out together, it became clear that neither could commit full-time until after graduation (for one, that's next spring), for a second, that's 2016.

The agreement that we have worked out has been that they would provide as much technical advice as they could (one being a CS guy, the other being a CS/Stats guy), and would be happy to review code, but beyond that, I would be on my own for the time being. No equity has been dispersed, and they're okay with that. It's simply a matter of slicing the pie.

So, now I'm wearing multiple hats, with a fairly strong business model / product concept, and a decent amount of clinician interest, but the implementation is lacking. And that is where I need help.
