You need to give equity commensurate with risk. Finding a good co-founder technical co founder probably requires that person to quit their job or whatever.(or take risk in general)

So, find the right person first and then negotiate with them to bring them on as a co-founder, not ill give you some equity or ill can offer you x%.

My advise would be to use your funding to get a prototype built (using vWorker or remote hire or whatever) and build up customers. Once you have customers its easy for people to see what you are trying to do and many people would be DTH.

Yes i think that could be a solution, the bad thing is that most of that persons are only commited by a very short period of time.. I most cases they don't want to continue with you, and move to their next project.. But it has to be a shorcut in order to find a real cofounder
