Rock on. If I were looking for a co-founder, I'd reply to this.<p>I'd be a bit worried about you, though. If you're in the the startup biz, why don't you have a rolodex full of tech co-founders who want to work with you? You'd probably score extra points by saying, "I have 5 hackers who I've worked with that'll swear by me-- happy to connect you so you can chat" or somesuch.
Wow - maybe you should have my tech guy! He's pretty awesome, check out his latest work here:

I spent a year full time pushing our products, got some investors interested but didn't close the deal. I am still doing my best to sell and we still feel hopeful, but given his skills, perhaps he'd go further with someone with more experience and contacts.<p>The downside is that we're based in New Zealand, so a bit far from N California. Anyway, feel free to get in touch with him if you want.
Cool. Though your not a hacker and not an MBA or a designer. Is that your pitch?<p>I'm looking for co-founders in NorCal area too. Right now, my hackers = eLance (i.e. hey, I love the lean start-up method too!)
It'll be good to know what types of problems do you want to solve? What's the industry are you mostly interested in? B2C or B2B?<p>What are the biggest problems you see around you and want to solve?
