Why you want to share your 50%, If you have any idea then hire people and do it yourself.

I disagree, you might not know how they do what they do but you might still be able to cooperate and reap the benefits :)
 
It can be good and bad

Cons:
You get only 50% of profits

Pros:
You get only 50% of the risk
 
Taking in a partner is only worth it if you know the person's work ethics good enough and especially if your skills/capital complement each other's. Otherwise, it's a no-go for me.
 
There are upsides and downsides to JVs.

I'm thinking here the OP is meaning JVs in general ( as opposed to the JVs section on here ).

Upsides include you bring together your own skillsets, finance could be part of the package. You dilute your financial exposure, should the venture fail.

Downsides; you're no longer in control, you have to share profits etc.

Watch Dragons Den or Sharktank on tv for an insight as to how to get screwed over by business angels ( the people want to offer 10% for $100k and the last Dragon screws then down to $100k for 49% ) But also how these people can help.
 
Partnerships work in rel life but I find it really hard on the Internet, 99% are big time wasters :(
 
It totally depends on what each party brings to the table.

There are too many guys who have a Very ROUGH idea and expect their DEV partner to read their minds and fill everything in

others think that just because they bring the money, they call the shots

The bottom line? Each side must bring REAL VALUE

Depending on complexity of your project.

If too big, that require lots of money or other expertise then go for it. But make sure the person that you want to jv with are worthy.

Give him the hammer !
