Different situations. The same missing person.
A founder without a technical co-founder, a profitable business with no dev team, and an operations team drowning in repetitive work all have the same problem underneath.
Startup founders
You do not need a technical co-founder to find out whether anyone wants this. You need the thing to exist.
You have an idea, some conviction, and a window. What you do not have is someone who can build. Every route out of that costs you something you cannot get back: equity, the round, or the months during which the idea was still worth having.

You are profitable, you know exactly what you need, and you have no realistic way to have it made.
You run a real business with real revenue, and somewhere in it is a process held together by a spreadsheet, a shared inbox and one person who knows how it works.
