I'm a technical founder, and I was sick of building software that went nowhere ... I was capable of building distributed, complex, bugfree software quickly, but I have no idea how to sell it. So I searched for a non-technical co-founder, and I was getting sick of people who ended up being all talk and no action. So I did this : I built 3 smaller products, with markets I knew fit, then I told the non-technical co-founders their job was to sell. Their job was to get relationships going, to get signatures on paper, and to get revenue flowing. No crap, no excuses, no endless feature requests, revenue. I found a good co-founder this way, this guy is a lot older than me, but could sell ice to Eskimos.
