Ask HN: Interviewing a business co-founder
What do you look for? How do you tell if they have it?
For me:
The basics:
-passion/dedication with a direction
-15 to 20 years of industry-specific knowledge/experience
-long term vision
-work ethic
-appreciation for other processes (tech, design, finance)
But I'm having a hard time deciding if they need anything more:
-should they have expertise in one of finance/marketing/sales?
-PM experience?
-what specific questions would you ask them? Is it same as hiring a PM as long as everything else works?
I haven't come across many that fit even the basic criteria but I'd like to be ready the next time I do, all help is very much appreciated.
