Looking for anyone who is an expert in a domain your not familiar with is difficult. Especially a co-founder, as your success together will depend maybe more on dedication & your relationship VS technical ability.

At a minimum, look for someone who:

- Has the ability to explain something complex from their area in terms you understand.

- Is not afraid to question or disagree with you, but does so in a way that doesn't make you feel bad.

- Is looking for a challenge and is genuinely interested in what your doing

- Displays a history of non-conformity, thick-headedness in some way.

- Really thinks/codes in terms of minimal viable product

- Who you get along well with!
