Here's a great post on how a business person can convince a technical co-founder to join them:
1. Become a domain expert - know the problem you are trying to solve inside and out. Know the market size, sales cycles, etc. Make connections in the industry.
2. Find Customers - Bring an idea, along with a 14,000 name mailing list that you generated via blogging on the subject.
3. Bring a design - Actually mock up a set of flows for an MVP. Show it to 20 people, and iterate on their feedback. Find out what is important so when you do start building you build traction right away.
