Finding Your Co-Founders

Michael Arrington, Anne Wojcicki, Guy Kawasaki, Seth Godin. All were business co-founders.

You see business guy founder's companies regularly on techcrunch, how often do you bother to look into the background of founders on news stories ?

none of those examples involved people getting a programmer cofounder.

Arrington is the sole founder, and his "startup" was just a wordpress install.

Anne Wojcicki doesn't have a programmer co founder.

Guy Kawasaki paid thousands to build alltop, so doesn't apply.

Seth Godin is a marketer/blogger, so once again, no technical cofounder.

Arrington co-founded Achex a epayment system prior to techcrunch with a technical co-founder.

Kawasaki co-founded (and sold) Fog City Software with programmer cofounders.

Godin has founded a number of startups including with programmers I believe.
