I know that finding the above is something very hard. I was lucky enough to find just such a person a while ago by chance. We hit it off pretty well even though I am a product/systems guy and he is a programmer. I actually decided not to apply to this years YC because I am waiting for him to finish his masters in cs and I would rather try it next summer with him than find someone else I trusted less. We even have a third person that we both feel the same about as well and want him in it with us too. Might sound a bit cliche, but I pretty much know that we can put together the right team in short order. It is a different feeling when you just KNOW the people have your back. Be open to it and network, you never know. I was not actively looking and it just happened.
