I have pricing on my site revpilots.com for various enterprise software that is normally not listed publicly. We'll even get on calls for you to get pricing.

I am in the same spot as you. I was once a lawyer. Lawyers almost never create anything from scratch. They edit other docs or combine pieces of docs to create what they need.

I'm thinking of finding a similar site and editing their ToS and PP to make it my own. I'm sure real lawyers will say this is a bad idea but there is no alternative. I've also heard that sites like Termly are not good. One you have the funds, it makes sense to get a lawyer to help you out.

correct, no need for salespeople

you're assuming sales conversations will be necessary in the future. I do not think that will be true for most purchases. It is much easier to match buyers with the right product based on their buying criteria. This is what buyers want anyway.

as a salesperson, I can confidently say that the change will be on the buyer side that eliminates the need for most salespeople. salespeople are already getting less and less time with prospects. Studies show salespeople only influence about 5% of the buying process. What comes next is automating recommendations for software products based on specific needs, buying criteria, etc.

There are a bunch of startup communities you can join like YC's startup school, on deck, and Antler offers programs to connect people who want to start something together around just an idea. Many other structured programs exist too. If you're a technical founder, you'll likely be accepted because they never have enough.

Another way is to start working on something of your own, get some traction, and if you still want a co-founder, it will be easier to find someone after you reduced some risk.

You can also join different startup communities and reach out to people in a genuine way to network. You'll need to have a lot of convos. I recently did this and most people were mercenaries, not founders.

Make it known to friends that you're looking for one and ask them if they can recommend people.

It's a major commitment to work with a co-founder so there's no reason to rush it.

Make sure to go through this if you think you found someone who might be a fit: https://proof-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/firstround/50%20Questi...
