I don't want to wear this theme thin but a comment on my dream investor thread made me think about this. If you could start a company with anyone in the world who would it be?
As a non-tech person I'd probably pick something who was strongly technical - most likely Steve Wozniak.
There's a lot of industry veterans that I would love to work with.
But as far as a co-founder goes, I'm happy with my current one. We have a great working relationship and we're good friends -- plus our skills compliment each other.
we're all happy with our co-founders, this was intended as a more theoretical question. i believe that people are always the best way to find the best people and asking the question who would you most want to work with, is a more perceptive way of seeing which entrepreneurs people respect the most.
I wasn't making a point of any sort, just making a side-note that I wouldn't want to work with anybody else with my current project. To more relevantly answer the question: there's a lot out there that I respect. As my dream co-founder? I'd have to give that a little more thought.
My dream co-founder doesn't have to be someone famous. It certainly doesn't have to be my friend. (Friends sometimes don't take friends serious. Trust me, I had some experience). My dream co-founder is someone I know; someone I can trust; someone I can share the vision with. Ironically, my co-founder is not too far away from that; he's a great guy.
