This year alone, I have got over 5 offers to be a Tech co-founder for some start-ups. It seems like a smart thing to do when a non-techie person has a start up idea to find someone to build the idea and in return act as a co-founder. Some of these offers are exciting and cool but we all know the success of a start up is most often not in the development (alone).
Most often, I reject such offers because I don't have enough resources in terms of time, passion, technical know-how or even for no reason. Sometimes, i just object because I feel the non-techie person with this idea is just trying to play smart by looking for someone who will do the whole development of the idea, while he sits atop the business.
Some of the guys that have approached me didn't even start while a few are doing quite well and I am like "whao! I should have been a part of that"
My question is; how do you best handle this situation in your own case. For me, its just like i have built a wall against that, once you are discussing a project with me and you mention the tech co-founder thing, i know you are looking for free job, I just shut my mind immediately.
