>But a valuable business co-founder brings extensive domain expertise, a network of people, sales skills, management skills, and fund-raising talent. Yep. I tried doing startups with a few ideas. I can easily code all day. But then, when it comes to doing all the secondary stuff, like filing paperwork for an LLC, marketing, networking, and so on, that stuff was "painful" to me, as it took some of the fun out of the whole making things work. You could have a good idea, but without a strategy to let people know about it, even if you build it, it may never get used.
