Id proceed with extreme caution.
Definitely do not partner with them if you don't know them.
Maybe offer a short term contract so you can evaluate their skills and personality.
I went into partnership with someone I'd known for a few years, very technical, the opposite of me, on paper the perfect partner to compliment my skillset.
3 months after partnering I kicked his a$$ to the kerb.
They made all the right noises, spoke a good game. But turned out to be a did.
You never really know how someone is going to work, behave, or perform until you give them a chance. In my experience it was far more hassle than it was worth.
My advice - give them a chance but nothing else. Don't give them any equity or confidential material until they have proved themself. Make sure you watch them and get a feel for who they are, you can make a call then.
