Ask HN: How to find good business co-founders?
2 comments
Go to conferences where you can meet like-minded individuals, with skills to compliment your weaknesses. Being able to get along and trust each others' opinions are the most important criteria IMO (aside from being technically competent).
Ask them what double entry accounting is.
Ask them how they would move your product.
What would they do about an underperforming employee?
Ask them to name a few of their favorite books. There are many good business books but not everyone reads them.

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
