I tried once to involve a junion partner (but 50/50) in one project. The idea was to give him a ruby introduction but with the main focus for him to do others things so that I can code e.g. he should checking out support-SaaS, googlemail, terms and conditions.
I thought that both partners are going to motivate themselves, don't allow one to procrastinatel off the roads.
In the end it did not work out. He raised more "no go" concerns than even I have when I start failing a project, e.g.:
A 2 hour discussion about: "when we focus on the US, who does support at night? I'LL NEVER STAY UP READING EMAIL TO 2AM EVERY SECOND DAY. I CAN'T DO THAT."
That was after approx. three weeks. Nothing worked yet. No customers of course.
TL;DR
I try to find cofounders but usually they have less motivation than I have. I probably don't do me a favour.
