      <description>&lt;p&gt;I just learned recently that a startup here in the Twin Cities has been working quietly for some time on a networking model to address this issue. They just launched their site: &lt;a href="http://www.PartnerUp.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.PartnerUp.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;It sure is a common occurrence in today&amp;#8217;s Web 2.0 environment: a developer comes up with a great idea, creates a wonderful site or working prototype, then has to figure out how to add one or two complementary team members (and marketing or bus dev is almost always part of that). Except in the unlikely event a guy had some huge success before and made a bunch of people rich, a lone wolf just won&amp;#8217;t be taken seriously by angels or VCs. They only take highly calculated risks in investable businesses.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;cheers,&lt;br /&gt;Graeme&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.Tech-Surf-Blog.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.Tech-Surf-Blog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
