I've cofounded a number of startups. I have found that a major rule is that you should NEVER let a non technical person lead a technical startup. They simply don't get it. It is way easier for the tech person to be the CEO/CTO and partner with a CMO/CFO who will get their hands dirty. There is a good reason that accountancy/legal,consulting firms are run by accountant thinkers and the big tech companies run by tech thinkers. I understand that the skill most represented in the fortune 500 CEO is technical.

So if you are looking for a tech cofounder you should look for them to be CEO.
