How do I find the right technical development partner?

My name is Patrick Kelly and I am leaving my amazing job at a Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, (www.goodbysilverstein.com) an advertising agency in San Francisco, to pursue an idea and start a web based company. I have been running a department that I founded - but think the idea that I am playing with has some pretty fantastic potential - and I want to find out.

I have been vetting the idea with a number of people already and have gotten amazing feedback and it is time to try and build a company around it.

The rub is that while I have worked on building more than a dozen sites over my career, I have no real technical skill and definitely no ability to code or architect the designs and functionality that I think will make the company great.

As I head out and start to try and find the right technical person to help me in the process, I am working my network very hard but am afraid that I don’t know exactly where to find the right technical person/team to get everything off on the right foot.

Does anyone have suggestions of where to find, meet, source, scour, bribe, convince and/or kidnap someone amazing?

I have begun the process of signing up for meet up groups and will continue to network like crazy but would love any advice or leads that people suggest.

Thanks in advance

PK
