he has a few completed solo projects, and was a friend of a friend, so I was able to spend time with him learning about his skill-set, which I then ran past the CTO of a local company.
It all seemed to check out. I really like him as a person, and I know that he has the ability to build this, but I'm stuck on the management aspect of it. because I'm not technical and I respect the process so much, it's hard for me to know when I need to push harder or let off the gas. Not to mention the fact that he's a co-founder, so that relationship has to look a little bit different than "I'm your manager, get shit done"
If you haven't set any deadlines or goals, do it now.
If he doesn't meet those goals, cut him loose. Obviously make those goals attainable, but to quote -> "Its time to fish or cut bait"
