That's more or less what I wrote in my last sentence, right? (that you left off...)

    >  It's really needle in the haystack that you find the right non-technical partner that can sell into an industry and is motivated by entrepreneurship.
The right candidate with the right mindset is very hard to find.

Yeah strongly agree but I also think you are looking in the wrong place.

What I disagree with is the notion that the best co-founder is hard to find because they are doing well in the corporate world. Building a business is a very different problem and environment, and it requires different adaptations. The playbook of an enterprise AE is often counter productive that early; in the same way that implementing amazon/google scale tools and infra are on the technical side [that early].
