Career Counseling

Should a digital marketing freelancer with a growing business ($300K) leave their own business to join an ad agency for 20% stake and $100K salary?

If money and security is the sole object, then it may more sense to take ad agency gig. But if freedom and a bigger stake in the overall direction and of company is a priority then staying the course as a freelancer may make more sense. To me there are other factors that would come into play more than money. I imagine a Freelancer growing a business (300K) is probably spending much of their free time focused on a business and not much free time to enjoy life. There is also the instability of running a growing business which would play into it as a factor. Working for an Ad Agency might reduce those stressed, but at a 100K salary I imagine there will be other work/life balances and requests. I don't think there is an easy answer and it all depends on the personal and professional goals of the individual. I know that's not a concrete answer, but hopefully it does help.

Technical Recruiting

I am a non-technical cofounder. Where are the best places to find and attract a technical cofounder?

I would suggest looking within your local Tech community. Search out various tech centric events through Meetup.com or look for something like a DemoCamp (or a Camp like event). Those events will attract people within the tech community that are interested in either new ideas, concepts or potentially becoming a cofounder. You could also look to see if your city has a Start-up Weekend. If you're comfortable, presenting your concept or through an event like that to see if you can match up with a passionate tech cofounder.
