Valid Strategy to find a non-technical founder. Its painfully difficult to find a match
**So no promotion!** I’ve built an OSS that’s gaining traction and will be the core of a new fintech/Doc Intelligence startup. I’m the main dev (EU-based, Portuguese), and I have a co-founder who’s a FAANG lead dev (US-based)—but he’s mostly hands-off at this point, will start once everything is set up. I told the other founder we really need a B2B sales co-founder. I’ve tried everything, but I keep running into three types of candidates: \- The kid out of college wants to be a wanna be entrepreneur \- The EU resident without EU nationality, with a terrible Resume \- The Top of the crop, 40/50 year old, making 200/300k+ in Sales in a FAANG/Top company, that would love to join but in a later stage, kids college don't pay by themselves. I'm in the YC matching program but doesn't seem to yield results too. I’ve been through two VC-backed startups this year (one before creating this project, and one potential merge), and I refuse to proceed without a solid sales partner. I’m tired of half-baked business models and zero sales expertise. Has anyone else struggled this hard to find a real B2B sales co-founder? How long did it take you? Should I start attending in-person events in Europe or join an incubator to meet the right person? Any advice or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks! PS: The agreed corporate structure is US if capital requires it , but we agreed and like other places like EU IP Box Cyprus/Poland and so on.1
