Thanks for this reply, appreciated.

I think you're absolutely right that an in-person meetup would definitely help build that level of trust; it's something I'll do as soon as possible.

I did, consciously, refrain from putting a link to the project I'm working on now because I didn't want to limit this 'partnership' to one specific idea (and to be honest I'm not sure the idea is really profitable at all, it's just a good start->finish app for me to learn some iOS features at the moment) but I do understand the need to be passionate about whatever it is that we’d both be working on.

Thanks for the suggestions on how to present the parnership, I definitely am not trying to get a 'freebie' from someone and I'll make sure that's clear with whoever I speak to.

I'll have a think about how I can show a past 'portfolio' of some description too, I really should update my personal website anyway and I can add links etc. then.

Thanks again and best wishes to you.
