I think you should relax the business oriented requirement for your co-founder and just focus on finding another person, with any skill set, that you trust.

It's not that you are risk averse it's that you are learning other areas averse. You need that co-founder because its a big idea but you may also need to get out of your personal comfort zone.

I have to disagree on this, because I had an experience as a solo founder 5 years ago, and I thought like you, that it would be easy to learn how to make sales prospection. That was a mistake, I found out not every skill can be mastered, especially the ones involving human skills and your own personality, and especially when you have to progress in a very few time.

I had the chance to work with someone specialised in this area and afterwards it looked obvious I needed help in this particular area.
