As a tech background cofounder building product but not coding mostly, I’d say tech is definitely 80% of the work. Don’t believe not educated people saying they learned sales – u can’t learn sales u only get experience in sales.

For me, great cofounder was a venture capital fund partner (still on the job, didn’t quit) – u get professional financial modeling n business forecasting n good contacts to raise money n no need to pay him salary.

I didn’t code a lot just manage, but I don’t need another guy like me while we still 10 ppl company – only coders n supporters, no managers or communicational time wasters…

So I’d think what exactly this co-dude can give me, that I don’t know? This should be important n must have knowledge to grow ur project. If nothing critical, maybe just hire this person?

If you ask a business/sales-oriented founder the same question, they will tell you that selling and building the business is 80% of the work. The reality is that the company has to be able to execute on BOTH or it won’t fly.

The right co-founder (depending on what “non-technical” means) can make all the difference between being the next Betamax or OS/2 (technically superior and not winning the day) or success.

Great to hear that. Worst case scenario you’ve learnt some valuable life lessons!
Best of luck buddy.

They could assess this persons abilities after a few conversation to know the personality traits that could cause issues in the long run. This advisor could also mentor the non tech person over time.

— no industry network, therefore no sales
— no experience how things really work, therefore inherit business / economical problems with the idea, which you can’t spot either but surface 6 months down the road
— overconfidence, probably even entitlement, edginess from the fact she has to prove herself in a men’s startup world

I would run. Look for a biz co-founder with deep industry experience.

We’ve had another meeting today. I’d say that after accepting that this is not an ideal arrangement, at the end of the day our ideas seem to align and she seems to have potential on the people side. Gut feeling says to go for it for the journey.

Obviously, I’m not saying that your co-founder is the next Steve Jobs, but the point I’m tying to make is that there are other valuable skills besides coding, which can help a startup succeed. Jobs was incredibly good at selling products and with his salesmanship abilities and Steve Wozniak’s technical abilities, they were able to start Apple Computers.
