We're in a similar boat with www.giftgaming.com

Have clients, users, etc. Need to find the right partner / bizdev person.

I think the comments I've read here are good advice -- people who jump straight into compensation and remuneration are probs in it just for the cash. As you're not guaranteed to always have cash, ask yourself if you see that person sticking around when things look gloomy...

But wouldn't it be great if the world didn't feel the need to use adblock?

Telling people not to use adblock is like telling people to not torrent, or to not bite their fingernails; it's too easy to do.

Instead, the core problem needs to be addressed: which is advertising seldom does anything except slowdown page/game loading times, cause privacy concerns or annoy/distract.

We're offering a solution which makes people want to opt-in more.

We're a non-intrusive advertising startup (giftgaming) -- I personally do not think it is unethical, as they provide no value, and if anything, detract from the website's value and sometimes are plain annoying.

I cannot believe that in 2015, we still have intrusive ads, such as banner ads, popups, interstitials, pre-roll videos -- all technologies from the 90s? There must be a better solution.

Thanks for clarifying, Paul. I feel this is the one disadvantage I have in my YC application; being a sole founder.

Cheers for the insight. Yeah, I guess a business partner might be better, committed, for sure.

I don't want any old business partner of course, and may take some time to find the right one...

Thanks for the suggestion, that sounds like a great way to frame it. I suppose role is irrelevant and could change, (and probably should, with any startup in 'search mode'). So I guess I need someone who is ideally business savvy, hungry for success, can adapt, is comfortable with uncertainty and is eager to learn...
