The name of someone to help a startup with tech skills

Hi,

I cannot think of the name so I was hoping you could help, if I needed an advisor / co-founder who was solely technical who could invest off experience in return for equity in the business what type of person would they be ? I am guessing they wouldn't be your standard VC / Angel Investor

1. If this is this a viral app? Nobody. Go get an account with one fo the site builders setup a low-cost landing page with a video and start working on marketing it. Get about 200-1000 email sign ups that buy into your site. 2. If this is an enterprise app, go close a 20k deal and you can pay someone. 3. If this a b2b website/app you need to find 5-20 potential customers that said they'll work with you. 4. marketplace do 2 and 3. Most developers don't want to do the sales/markeitng side so you actually have a true partnership there. Also, be prepared to cough up 50%

That is pretty useful info thanks for that :)
