6 pointsby KennyFromITalmost 6 years ago
Non-solo founders...<p>If you&#x27;re technical, how did you find the business person?<p>If you&#x27;re the business brains, where did you find your technical partner?<p>Who came up with the idea?

My first business partner was a good friend from high school and college roommate after college I convinced him he could build something I wanted to try, and then gave him half the company :). We worked together for ~12 years and then went our separate ways after a few companies together. It didn&#x27;t end well but that is a separate story.<p>New business partner, I found on HN, hired him for some freelance work for 6 months, then pitched him on an idea and now working on it together :).

Non-technical founder here. I found my side-project co-founder by talking about my ideas with everyone who might listen. He was a colleague who had a little extra time.

It&#x27;s a lot like dating. Sometimes you just pick up anyone who&#x27;s happy to listen.

I found my last co-founder on CoFoundersLab. Always open for new adventures btw.
