They need to compliment your skills and attributes, have integrity, share your goals and motivation, and in your case, be willing to risk their money for the investment. 

@Russell BrazilI also heard a cool quote attributed to someone famous.

So, they tax that portion of the gain attributed to the leverage % of your investment at sale which today is at the corporate tax rate, currently 35%.
