what if you have been invited to be a co-founder role? I guess I shouldn't expect developers to have the same passion as I do. I hope the interested co-founder candidate should have some passion about the domain. I feel that it is very difficult for a co-founder to stick with the project if he/she don't agree this project is solving some problem he/she cares about.

Depends on the type of co-founder, I suppose.

Having been more-or-less a technical co-founder (or maybe a co-co-founder) I found the technical issues fascinating, but ultimately, I wasn't sure if the business model was a good idea or not. So, I stuck to technical issues and kept my mouth shut (or tried to) about anything outside my area.

The one time I had to say something was when the Social Media person suggested what sounded like astroturfing. I was against it then and I will always be against it.
