Totally with you on ::just get something going instead of waiting for a technical co-founder::, but honestly if you're passionate w/o all the skills to make your business, it's not hard to find someone who can be passionate about it too.

I remember some quote about a guy who asked a VC, "How do I find engineers to help build my product?", and they said, "I don't know, but the best entrepreneurs always do".

There are technical people everywhere - plenty of them are bad at raising money, making money, etc., but would jump at the chance to work on an idea they love. Help liberate a great technical person.

At my company, I focus on the mech. eng./ business side, while my co-founder does all the software. It's been great so far, and we both get to work on something we love.

If you have an idea you love, don't sacrifice it because you don't have all the skills - you rarely will. Try to do some small version of it as fast as possible. This will show your co-founders-in-waiting that you've got the chops to run this business so they feel confident in having your back technically while you have theirs on the business end.
