Look for someone who is hungry enough. Their must values need to align with your values.
The team must hold each other accountable.
You need to know if your employees are here for a paycheck or here for a greater cause.
Find someone that sees the potential and does not care about making money right now.
Look for partners , not employees. Align incentives. Have everyone committed to the big vision so everyone has skin in the game.
