Good luck. You are in a position lots of us have been in. You have to realize your place in this discussion with your potential co-founder: you are a salesman.

Good luck. You are in a position lots of us have been in.
You have to realize your place in this discussion with your potential co-founder: you are a salesman. You must sell him (or her) on the idea that joining you in this quest will help him realize his dreams. Are you doing that? If not, then no one will join you. Are you able to convincingly explain the product in such a way that he can understand it, see its benefits, and see how he can sell it? If not, forget it - you're on your own.
- jpd750 14y agoI think he sees the value in the product (since he eventually wants to sell it) but he doesnt seem like he wants to put in the work right now with identifying customers, customer dev.
- ScottWhigham 14y agoThen he doesn't see what you see, hence he isn't willing to commit like you have. Until you get him (or anyone else) to see what you see (in the market, the potential, etc), then you won't be able to make anyone commit like you have. If he saw what you see, then he would absolutely commit, right? Since he hasn't, the problem has to be in your communication skills. It sounds like you need to work on your ability to communicate just what it is that you have.
