Ah, I don't want to be the guy to tell Antonio that his English really isn't better than most native speakers'...

It would probably be easiest for him to hire an English-speaking person as a cofounder or early employee for copywriting or communication, I guess.

You can be that guy and it won't have any harmful consequence on me, or you :) Because I'm already aware of that.

There were other requirements for the cofounder, you know it's not easy to find the right one. I took English knowledge into account (also tried to have a native speaker as a cofounder) but it was just one out of several parameters with some weight.

Regarding the early employee option suggestion, so I should take that into account when estimating the size of a needed seed funding.

I had a hunch you'd see that! There's no need to patronize you by saying your English is perfect, there's no shame in not speaking a language perfectly (I'm not a native speaker either).

Just find someone who speaks it well enough, it's not really even that big a problem. A good chunk of the world's population speaks English natively!
