The site covered a lot but there were a few things I think it failed to cover in all this hunting for a cofounder. What value was he bringing to the table beyond the idea and outsourcing for those he was willing to vest as a true cofounder or even early engineer with or without salary. The biggest thing most tech guys want is a competent cofounder. While he did mention he tried to pick up some technical stuff, there was no mention of any other businesses skills whatsoever i.e. legal, hr, marketing/distribution, etc etc etc... about the only thing he mostly proved is he can't retain talent so hiring and recruiting is probably not one of his strong suit.

There's also no talks about the process to which he determines how the product works (essentially product management, UX, etc..) for all the stuff he's outsourcing.
