I am really looking for a combination of SKILL and money. Not just one or the other.
I can get people to drop, $10-20k+ if I needed it as just financial investment. However, I have more than that in my own personal bank account. It's not about the money. Furthermore, that doesn't solve my problem. The problem is that I have the ideas, and experience to make money. In this case, I have the network, traffic, and niche to keep rolling on some new stuff. But...
I am not a programmer, and there is a clear disconnect when dealing with coders and designers. This disconnect takes a 60 day project, and can turn it into 9 months because I have to find, interview, research new programmers. Then some flake. I have to start all over again, and more delays.
This doesn't even get into the fact things tend to take longer it taking how I need something to work to make the money, and how a programmer looks at things. Including which programming language to use, and so on.
Now, that said... I do not want to get into another arrangement like I have with my current minority business partner in the porn production company. He does nothing, and makes his coin.
He put in the investment money to start up, and get a 30% stake. But now he does absolutely nothing, and still cashes in. I do not mind a business partner, but one who bring some SKILL to the table. Internet background, a piece(s) I do not have, some work ethic, whatever.
I do not need just money and dead weight. Nor just a worker bee. I am looking for balance and experience. Someone who truly wants to succeed, and while their drive for this will never be more than mine, someone in the same ballpark would be nice.
