I came here to post that on that subject, as well.
>We believe that founder teams need a good mix of strengths in both vision/strategy and implementation/execution. We will match you with potential co-founders who complement your strengths, ie: the opposite of you.
It's as if match.com (and I have never used match.com, so maybe this analogy is bad) said:
>We believe that marriages need a good mix of strengths in both leader/decision-maker and cooking/cleaning/listening quietly. We will match you with potential mates who complement your strengths, ie: the opposite of you.
Oh, fun.
I'd be looking for someone who is willing to do "whatever seems like the biggest win" at the time, and who can change plans on no notice.
I'd also be looking for someone who will get their hands dirty implementing. It's not just the amount of work required, although that's reason enough. It indicates the humility necessary for the enterprise to work.
It's "gee honey, you know I sure appreciate the hard work you did cooking this meal while I was sitting on the couch" versus getting in the kitchen and making good food happen cooperatively.
