Well you certainly don't need to be a web dev to get a site up and running[1,2,3,4]. To me it seems you're still in the customer discovery phase. How many interviews with clients have you had? 50? 150? I'd be willing to guess that you've still got a lot of work to do before you go looking for a web dev/technical co-founder. Without a thoroughly validated market I doubt anyone worth your time is going to bite. Here's what I would do. It'll help you validate your hypothesis and attract co-founding candidates:
+ Interview 50 customers per week. No exceptions.
+ Build out a business model canvas and test each assumption against customer interaction.
+ Learn some basic web development. This will show a potential co-founder that you're invested. You need to hustle and show them that.

- cdvonstinkpot 13y agoI wouldn't know where to begin to find the right customers to interview right now. At the moment I'm having second thoughts as to whether I can rightfully market myself to big data customers with just 1 server, no matter how fast it is. Apparently I need at least 20 servers to run small big data workloads, I have a bit to learn obviously. I could try a Google AdWords campaign to ask some questions in a poll maybe, but that's all that comes to mind when I think of getting customer opinions- I'm really at a loss in that respect.
