Love it. Great story Patrick. At CoFoundersLab, <a href="http://www.cofounderslab.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cofounderslab.com/</a>, a free online matching platform, we're committed to helping entrepreneurs solve this critical problem of building a core team/finding the right co-founder(s). We're digging into a multitude of assessments beyond simply complementary skills. We believe that shared goals, values, personalities that mesh, and vision for what the company can and will be are equally as important. Our new Entrepreneur Archetype Assessment is a short quiz built into the product. Find out what type of entrepreneur you are and compare yourself to others to find a good match. Good luck!
I am also building up a team right now as well. I do not think its enough to say that you are the CEO/Founder. Leading by example, and having skin in the game is critical. The CEO needs to have enough technical skills to be able to build a MVP and relate to his CTO and engineers.<p>There are literally thousands of idea people needing developers/CTOs in the valley now. Pick a challenging problem that you're solving in a unique enough way and never look back.<p>Good luck.
