Over the past few months, I’ve been building my own startup, Layman, a business and tech news app.   I’m currently looking for a technical co-founder and was wondering if you might know of any master’s students who could be a good fit. If possible, I’d appreciate it if you could share this opportunity or my contact information with them and I can explain more.
