Thanks for the advice. I agree with you about the value of a technical co-founder. My preference would be to have a technical co-founder. However, I've personally experienced that its 'easy' to find a technical co-founder, but its incredibly difficult to be 100% compatible and you only find that you are not compatible by 'dating'. And you do need to be very compatible for the partnership to benefit the start-up and not jeopardize the start-up either directly or by being a distraction if it starts to go sour. The 'dating' aspect wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that I'm under some element of time pressure, and 'serial dating' can be a death sentence. Perhaps there are some approaches along the spectrum of co-founder - hiring contractor that i'm should be exploring. Thanks again for your thoughts
