> As mentioned above I(and, I imagine, many business cofounders) would bring marketing, monetization, and bizdev. This isn't vague writing a business plan strategy stuff, but rather concrete steps to take a startup from a side project to a business where you put in $X and get $2X back- in other words, the exact thing investors are looking for. If that's true, you have term sheets to show potential co-founders. What? You mean that you can generate such materials and that they'll result in term sheets if you can just get someone to write some code. That's very different. If you've done it before, you can argue that you can do it again, but if you haven't.... Tech folks code during interviews. Perhaps you should do what you say you can do and show us. Bonus points if you get some outside validation, such as an actual investor saying "if that coding was done, I'd be writing a check".
