Hi Steinbeck,
That's great you've got a solid first recommendation. Getting one from your co-founder is not ideal, as they will not have had oversight for your work, and may not be seen as objective as others. Other options that entrepreneurs often consider -- a key client, a supplier / vendor, a professional mentor, or a business adviser like a lawyer/accountant. Or if there are extracurriculars you are heavily involved in and someone who "supervises" your work there, that is an option too. Are any of those possible?
Good luck!

Thank You for the response
mbaMissionKateSince we have got live almost two weeks back, and are marketing aggressively, we don't have a client as of now. We have got few orders from local vendors, but I don't see them as right recommender(s). I have been taking help from few of the people in this sector, but there isn't any one who can share in depth knowledge and talk about my pros and cons at work.
I can think of one of my supervisor at my MNC who was our Business Unit HR Head (she was managing the ECA at my department) and I have been reporting to her for some eight months. I am not sure if she qualifies as the right recommender. Moreover, I would like my second recommendation to come from the start up so that it adds credibility to what I have written on my essays. I am NOT sure if not having a recommendation from some one at your current venture gives a slightly bad picture to the admissions committee.
Thanks.
