I want to find a technical co-founder.
You're not looking for any technical co-founder. You need a staff-level ML engineer who's shipped production-grade AI infrastructure at scale, has been through at least one hypergrowth cycle, and is finally ready to leave. You're drifting toward AI-native developer tools — you want a partner who can own architecture end-to-end and has already felt the pain your future customers feel.

Shared Focus
You both spent formative years at Stripe building for developers — she was on ML Infra while you shipped APIs on Terminal. You've been solving adjacent halves of the same problem for years without knowing.
Complementary Needs
She's six months into a stealth company building reliability infrastructure for AI agents and needs a product co-founder with 0→1 B2B instincts. Your Stripe PM track + developer-tool shipping = the exact gap she's hiring against.
Network Overlap
You share 7 mutual connections — including her former Stripe manager (who has publicly praised your Terminal launches) and a Benchmark partner who's already tracked both of you independently.
Intelligence Playbook ready for Alex → Sarah
Personalized openers, resonant topics, and things to steer around
Everyone you meet is a stranger.
Until now.
Is that chemistry? It's the Playbook.

PlaybookDo's
Lead with her recent essay "Agent reliability past the demo" — it's her stated thesis and her most-shared post in the last 90 days.
Mention her former Stripe manager by name — he's a mutual connection and has publicly praised your Terminal launches. Warm credibility, not a name-drop.
Don'ts
Don't position yourself as "the business co-founder." She's explicitly looking for a product partner, not a GTM lead. Lead with the three 0→1 products you shipped at Stripe, not with commercial motion.
