You need to put down what all tasks this person can do without spoon feeding. How can he manage resources if he is not technical? What would he manage without any skills? He would have no clue about what is going on with the products and all technical challenges team is facing.

He doesn't seem like a right advisor/mentor. If was one then he would have advised you right away that he is not a right fit for this job.

That was the first question he raised when I first proposed about him becoming a partner - "What would I be able to bring to the company?", its because of such questions that I value his opinion.

Thats true, I would not be able to afford to spoon feed him about what he can, he should or how he can do different things. I would have to spend more or less full time on development, finances and customers. He would have to be a self starter and go about trusting his own instincts, if he joins this company. But currently it looks like I have more trust on his instincts than he has on them (at leaast with respect to this venture)
