Bro first you need to gain knowledge about your startup. No matter whom you hire or how much you pay him, if you don't have the knowledge why would he work for you.

If you don't have the domain knowledge, don't do it. First gain it then start. Provide good position & good value to your cofounder. Harsh truth but it's better for you.

U can't take ur startup to that level without him to pay him good package! Bina tech ke bhi chalega. AI can code abhi toh. Par industry specific knowledge is must!

You work with anyone but you need to be able to convey the purpose of your organisation or startup to that person who is going to work with you atleast in the initial stage. Mostly employees don't care about your purpose only cofounders do, not all employor co founders just make sure that you work with right set of people who can understand why are you working on your idea at first place.

You don't always need a co-founder. Even a lot of solopreneurs do this. They hire few interns with different set of expertise and conduct growth experiments at a scale and convert them full time with good perks and ESOPs. Often, they try to find curious generalists who can handle multiple things at one point of time. Hire young ppl that would be my suggestion, because they are okay to take small risks and do experimentations.

When considering a co-founder for your venture, look for complementary skills and strengths, shared vision and values, a strong work ethic, effective communication and conflict resolution abilities, and a good cultural fit for your team. Additionally, consider their commitment to the venture and their ability to adapt and innovate in a dynamic startup environment. Trust is the most important thing.
