Where To Find Ambitious Business Partners?

LostInTranslation asks: "If I were an MBA looking to make a fantastic new dotcom company, I would look around places like /. to try and net some technical wizards to do my bidding. Sites like this collect that kind of tech genius. But the problem is that I already am a technical wizard, and what I need is someone who is driven to sell wizardry. Where does one find that kind of person? Is there some kind of newsgroup they frequent? I've done a few searches, but nothing of value came up. How does a geek find a suit that wants to be exploited?" "I should clarify: I've run at least two quasi-successful companies in the past ten years, bootstrapping and innovating along. I don't want to run my own business anymore. It's tiring, it takes me away from the front lines, and I don't have the right personality for it. I am looking for a business partner who can turn my good ideas into success stories. I've got angel investors waiting for something to spend on, I've got a massive number of satellite resources to make any idea shine, but I'm missing someone with that je ne sais quoi ... that chutzpah, that integrity in the face of adversity. And I'm not gambling anyone's money on my ideas when I'm fully aware I don't want to run the show.

Someone out there in Slash-land must know where these people collect. They all seem too buzzword-aware to not be on the web somewhere. So give it up: where are they hiding?"

So lemme get this straight...

You're excited about what's possible if you could find the right people? ... and they'd work for you?

...and you're frustrated you can't find available visionaries?

You are describing nothing special, unique or unusual. You have money, experience and ideas... and you want very talented people to help you execute those ideas.

Join. The. Crowd.

And since you know that ideas are fucking worthless, here's some links to help you execute, IE, find some talent....

Search google for headhunters

Guru

Elance

Idea: Purchase ads in various publications likely to be read by people you want.

Good luck. I hope you can find who you're looking for. (and by that I mean, "It's hard to find good help."
