For me a partner should have: 1. We share the vision. ie we want to create the same company. 2. we share ethical values. 3. has skills that I don't have.

you are focusing only on the skills, but shared vision and values is even more important.

I would rank it 2, 3 and then 1.

A person who is not ethical or that is perceived to be unethical will do vast damage to your relationships with customers, suppliers, employees, investors, everyone. It is even worse if you give somebody like that a 2nd or 3rd chance.

So far as (1) startups pivot all the time so if you have visions that are primarily overlapping but there is some divergence that doesn't bug me.
