Opposite problem here.

Can't find a business co-founder, I'm a guy that likes building stuff but has no ideas.

Part of my problem as well is that I use different tools to rails, mainly ASP.NET MVC etc.

You mention "The project is music related, Ruby on Rails + significant Javascript" but if you already have started coding why are you looking to hire a developer?

I've read alot around the subject of business focused co-founders seeking technical co-founders (mainly so I could know where to "be found") and are you offering just a salary or low salary + shares?

Yep, it's stange to see someone seeking a technical co-founder and trying to impose a framework. Let the future CTO do its job, grant him confidence!

I don't want to sound like an ass but from experience I can say that's because the founder read somewhere that X framework is "kwel" and the hottest thing right now so they gotta have it.

But the end-user doesn't cares, case in point: Grooveshark its made with Flash.

Can't find a business co-founder? That's pretty unusual it seems. What kind of work do you expect your business co-founder to do?

It's more the following:

1. Location. In Bristol, United Kingdom. Not London.

2. The .NET scene isn't very startup focused. Of all the .NET usergroup events I've attended (in Bristol) over the years I've only seen 1 person talking about their startup needing developers.

3. I scare other .NET (501) people with all these new hipster technologies like NoSQL (RavenDB, Redis) or cloud servers.
