That's a great point. I'm looking for a co-founder and maybe I assumed he could fill the gaps overtime but bring him on immediately because of the current situation. I think I will continue searching for someone else. Thanks for the input!
Besides a friendly and can-do attitude, what else does this person bring to the table that couldn’t be otherwise hired or paid for? Hopefully once the money comes in - what else is this person going to do to contribute to the business?
This is sincerely a bad idea. Gauging from how reactively (and immaturely) you are thinking about your friend, I would wager that your business may also be a bad idea and that’s why investors don’t throw money at it.
The problem isn’t you lacking some “gift of gab” here; the problem is deeper and has to do with your business or you.
