I'm a technical co founder. I'm CTO and the other co founder is CEO. We've been working together for 6 years now. Before that we were aquaintaces at our last job, where we met. I'd never get into the situation I'm in now with someone I didn't know. I also wouldn't do it with my best friend. I dont have any advice to be found, except to meet people and discuss ideas and get a feel for how people are and work.
Non technical co founders, when working properly, have an enormous amount of work to do, often much harder than a technical person, even though it may never involve anything more complex than excel or a web browser.
You need to find someone who you can work with, work through problems with and trust. No small task! I suspect most people find each other by pure luck.
- ramtatatam 8y agoMy story is incredibly similar to yours. So are my thoughts about it. The only bit I would add is this - never underestimate your work mates, even if they are doing simple jobs. Some people have extremely interesting bio and you will not find out until they throw idea at you - and this is when you might (or might not) be found.
