It seems like the hardest part and the one thing keeping me from really jumping into a venture is finding a serious partner.

I am technical, I love to build software and have been working in an industry full of problems that can be solved and addressed through effective software.

However, it’s almost impossible to find a partner who:

  1. Is just as passionate as I am about my specific industry and specific problems I want to solve.

  2. Can bring a skill set that complementary to my own.

Anyone else feel this?

    Totally. Can feel pretty alone pursing without a partner or support as well. Sometimes I think it’s sort of a lack of respect/empathy. I have a strong 25 year career in marketing and some tech background but not a developer. Sometimes it feels that developers minimize the value marketing brings. “I could just run some PPC ads…”

    Vice versa… non-tech people can say things like, “oh, I’ll just hire a cheap developer from overseas.”

    But in reality, they both add value and when combined are often stronger than each individually.
