I co-founded our startup after reading an ad for a hacker and convincing the other guy to take me on as a partner instead of employee - we met for the first time 2 years ago to talk about the startup that would be, today we've got an angel-backed team. Meet new people and start work with them - it can work, you'll soon find out if it doesn't. Keep in mind looking for people with complimentary qualities though - I put our success 100% down to how we each have a responsibility for well-defined "halves" of the company - me product & tech, him sales, marketing, community, legal, biz dev etc.
