Maybe some confusion is caused by the definition of founder, but if you want to start a company and don't have a co-founder, you are really the only founder. When you are saying you are "looking for a co- founder" this is in fact a contradiction in terms. The other person will not be equal to you in terms of entrepreneurial endeavour. There is nothing wrong with it, but it's basically false advertising. If you are starting a company and need to have technical staff working for equity only, make this abundantly clear.
And also, on a controversial note, my observations of the "founder market" is there isn't necessarily a shortage of good technical people to join early stage companies, but a shortage of inspiring entrepreneurs who know how to attract them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
