my 2 cents is that "if only I had X I could get started with Y" type of things are often excuses one makes themselves why they haven't started yet, if you need somebody to work on your idea a "fat" paycheck goes a long way hiring freelancers over the pond, if you need an idea, because the end goal is "having a startup" just take an existing product, put a spin on it and go, although having a peer pushing each other through tough times is fantastic, you need to be aware of each others expectation, maybe they want to work on it full time, maybe only after hours, maybe they (or you) get an even fatter offer, would you say no to that, would they?
