Through comment conversations with many of you I tried to emphasize that it isn’t enough to just have one attribute. They often make great team members such as head of products, CTO, head of sales, CFO, etc. He and his partner told me about this new idea over the course of nearly a year. You need the whole package.

I’ve worked with 30+ early-stage companies in all sorts of capacities (and spoken to many, many more), so I thought it might be worthwhile trying to classify the various ways that I’ve engaged in different technology roles in startups. It depends on the business, people, technologies, etc. Each situation is just a bit different.

He argued that software engineers don’t finish what they start, and that you’re better off paying a technical person than partnering with one. They can make good money consulting or working as an employee of another company. A business partnership is like a marriage and finding a long term partner is a very difficult thing.

Im trying to create a technology enabled recruiting service for an unproven business model. Partnering with me at that stage was speculative at best. If there's a business co-founder with an idea looking to partner with me, they've flunked their first test if they weren't able to raise cash. Act accordingly.

In Meebo’s case, for example, I was lucky enough to partner up with Elaine and Sandy. No looking for partnerships (who’s going to partner with you anyway?). Trust me, once you’ve launched and achieved traction, you’ll have your pick of mentors, VCs, partners and all the legal expenses you need. No phone system. No legal muck.
