#TechAverseToArtsStartups #VisualArtsTechCollaboration #TechCofounderChallenges
Hey there, fellow startup enthusiasts! 👋 Have you ever felt like techies are giving you the cold shoulder when it comes to pitching your arts startup idea? 🎨💡 It can be frustrating to get positive feedback from everyone except the tech community.
I recently shared my experience of struggling to connect with tech professionals for my visual arts startup on the YC cofounder platform. Despite reaching out to numerous potential matches, I mostly heard crickets. 🦗 So, what gives? Are techs averse to startups in the visual arts world?
Here are a few possible reasons why techs might be hesitant to jump on board with arts startups:
– Lack of understanding or interest in the arts industry 🤷♂️
– Perceived risk or uncertainty in the arts market 🎭
– Mismatched priorities or values between tech and arts sectors 💻🎨
But fear not, there might be a solution to bridge the gap and attract tech cofounders to your arts startup:
– Clearly communicate the value and potential impact of your arts startup to tech professionals 🚀
– Build relationships and network within the tech community to find like-minded individuals who share your vision 🤝
– Seek out tech mentorship or advisors who can provide guidance and expertise in navigating the startup world 🌐

25 is *nothing*.
Any good technologist with skills to be a technical cofounder will have a lot of other kinds of opportunities. From you first sample, you get something like a 4% response rate. So now you know if you want to have 10 meetings, you need to contact 250 people.
arts seems like a race to the bottom with AI and indian graphic artists who work for very low wage.
