Ask HN: How to deal with a non-performing co-founder?
6 months after I started a startup I invited a freelancer to be my technical co-founder. I gave him a good share of the company (vested 4 years+1 cliff). We have been working for 5 months now.
He is a nice guy and his heart is in the right place, but he is not very talented as a developer. He also have told me that he wants to stop being a dev and start being the biz guy, and he doesn't have experience/knowledge being the biz guy either.
This question in Quora http://goo.gl/TJLcG that describes well my question. Just wanted to know if you, founders, have faced something similar or how do you deal with a problem like this.
