And what for a +40 someone? Can't go and waste time at school again.

I got contacted by my cofounder. Back when Rails was hot, he looked on forums, found some posts of mine, investigated further and contacted me.

Didn't work out though. Project got started, has been making profit for years, but not enough to drop the daytime job.

I find that reliable people my age really have such an outdated view on business that I know in advance we're not compatible... younger people lack experience.

I'm thinking lately of switching roles. I had been looking for a non-tech cofounder, as I've got more than enough coding/sysadmin experience. But the last 7-8 years, I'm the director of a small business (not my own), learning marketing, pr, bizdev, hr, ... so I'm thinking I might rather look for someone to handle the tech part.

Is this going to be a real product, or is it a joke? 20% of me thinks it's a joke that I'm not fully getting (I'm not native English speaking, so that might be the problem)

If it'll be a product: why not focus more on what sets it apart from the competition?

About €1000 from a subscription based web analytics niche thing and another €2500 from my wife as she works for the government.

And what if you don't have a decent partner available? Just take the plunge with someone and hope it's a good fit?

Been there, prefer to try it on my own now.
