Ask HN: How to find good business co-founders?
I asked a question yesterday on HN titled: ["Ask HN: My co-founders are trying to get rid of me. What should I do?"](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9803111) and I took some great advice from HN community and based on those I have decided to part ways with my co-founders.
I'm a technical person and I definitely need a some help in the business side of things. I don't know wether I should hire a business guy or find a business focused co-founder.
A business co-founder would definitely be much more dedicated than an employee who gets paid and has a very small amount of equity
