So I recently came to the conclusion that I need a technical co founder. I guess tech co founders would class me as an "ideas" guy, and I know tech guys usually like to work with or around other tech guys, but I know the bare minimum about software development and "coding" if you will. I know HTML and JS but that's about it, however I'm am eager to learn more and would actually enjoy immersing myself in my co founders world.
That being said, I can actually bring substance to the founder partnership because I own and have run businesses so I know how to market, pitch to investors, create revenue streams, handle accounting, business relations (with investors and employees mostly), and I know how scale a business up, I've also failed, and failing has taught me what others may not know about pure business. All that being said, the one thing I have trouble doing is finding a technical co founder, the last one I had ran out on me, before we even got started, so I scraped the idea and business plan and started fresh, 2 years of market research and I've finally landed on a couple of ideas that would actually be worth our time and effort, and of course, money. If you have email (or any other way I could contact you), and you're interested, please let me know.
Also AMA if you want to know more about me and what I can offer.

Ideas are cheap and common.
Working products and the people that can create them are 1 in 1,000,000

If your offer is solid, I'm your guy.

Most successful companies and people go through hell to get where they are. Backstabbing, etc. Your co founder might suck.
Nothing is ever going to be perfect. You either do it or you don't, and you just try to make conditions work to your favor in every way. Create your own luck. By changing the conditions of your existence and where you are, basically.

I don't mean 4 channel networking either. I mean actually go to shit to network. And be prepared to give your cofounder 50% of your share.
To do this properly you'll have to compartmentalise EVERYTHING properly. there'll be Engineering (your cofounder playing with toys) and then Sales/Marketing/Business Dev/Logistics/Legal/Pitching/employee retention/HR (excepting the engineering team members which will be your cofounder) will be all you.
After that get ready to wear some real handcuffs if you get seed funding, because your investors are going to see you as a flight risk until you're paying cheques.
What I'm saying is, nobody will want you in engineering, and you'll be too busy to do that anyway.
my bottom line is (as a technical guy who'd love to head an engineering department), if you can't network to find a cofounder, how can I expect you to network and find me investors to pay bills? R&D takes time and engineers cost money. You have to be able to put up before people will invest in you.

The big elephant in the room is why your first guy left. Answer this before trying to sell the opportunity

He said the last tech founder 'ran out on him'. Why was that? This is a big red flag

I'm not sure what kind of indepth background you're looking for but I'm always interested in taking meetings. Email me at [email protected]
I can at least point you in a direction if there's no interest at either end.

What's so hard about paying a programmer to implement your idea? You don't need a cofounder, you just need someone to build what you think up.
