Congratulations. You have solved the problem really well.
My biz partner is currently some one I went to school with and a good friend for years, some one I can share my bank account password with.
Connections are important but my personal thought is if you have a great product and achieved the market-fit hiring a professional or an advisor to help is at your disposal. But don't partner if the only asset they bring is connections.
I recommend looking in your circle first, some one you've worked with in the past, understands you really well, shares your vision and trust you.
