Start-ups: What are some good resources to find a qualified tech founder?
Jim Aylward, CEO at GeoTech Advisors, LLC answered:

You have your priorities backward. You need an experienced business person with some tech knowledge. A smart person can learn what he or she needs to learn about your business fairly quickly. The chances of you getting hit by a bus are smaller than your need for business experience in the C-suite.
