Maybe these people are looking in the wrong place, or for the wrong person. If you want to hire me, here's how. I'd love to be part of a startup, but I have a family and a day job that I can't quit easily. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'd be willing to work on a project with the goal of making money with a non-technical co-founder, given the understanding that I'd be working on the project in my free time at night. If you're a "business" guy then you could provide me with the continuity to ensure the project gets off the ground. You could do customer service. You could market the product. If you do your part, then eventually I could quit my day job and we're both all in. If you want to accept the financial risk while I do all of the technical work for the initial few months, I think that's a fair trade. Plenty of people want to do this, but the risk is too great. Make that risk smaller and you've got a partner.
