Spent about six months trying to find a technical partner for a SaaS idea before deciding to just try building it myself. No coding background at all, just a clear picture of what the product needed to do and who it was actually for. Started using an [ai cofounder](https://brawe.ai/) and had a first working version ready in about three weeks. More collaborative than expected, you explain what you need, it pushes back on weak decisions, and the output is actually usable. Still early but real users are testing it now, which felt impossible six months ago
