| Why don't you learn some business skills yourself? The materials are available on internet. Sure it takes time. You want to learn digital marketing? There are many good tutorials on Youtube or you can buy some digital marketing books. If you took this path, you would reach the state on which you may not need a business co-founder anymore. If you met a good business co-founder, at least, you could gauge whether they are competent or not using your business skills. Some good materials for you to start learning business skills: Digital marketing: https://www.youtube.com/user/neilvkpatel Corporate finance: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP63B2lDhyKOs... Supply chain: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/supply-chain-manage... HR: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/human-resource-mana... Of course, YC Startup Library is a top-notch resource: https://www.ycombinator.com/library About networking in Covid-19.... Actually it's still possible. You could join some online communities. You could build your brand on social media (Linkedin, Twitter, etc). For example, if I wanted to network with some influential people on blockchain space, I would follow their Twitter and contribute to the conversation (Twitter threads), I would join an opensource blockchain project and build some connections with the core developers. You get the idea. Good luck! |
Obviously, if you are both well rounded and have some understanding of the other's area that will make things more efficient but don't try to BE the other.
