Ha, I'm on the other end. I'm more excited about the product and marketing side of this business. But alas I know no coders so I had to learn all this coding shit myself.

I'm also on the look out for a technical partner and will actively start looking once I have my prototype working.

What I plan to do though is meet them in person or via webcam first. Shoot the shit, observe how they handle different situations, get a feel for their morals, talk about normal stuff friends talk about.

You want to know the real person you're going to share your business with, not what their CV says or what their marketing talk convey.

How would they handle conflict? How likely are they to use slight of hand tricks to better themselves at others expense? What do they want to accomplish and how would that tie in with your shared business? Do they simply want to make a quick buck? Do you?
