This is my advice: If a cofounder sounds right for you, you're probably doing the right thing by looking. I've tried several startups without a co-founder and I can tell you that having a partner helps immensely. Having someone in the trenches living for the same cause brings a spirit that's hard to conjure by one's self. Sometimes it's easy, and sometimes it is difficult. The co-founder I'm working on Baqqer with happened because I posted in a FB group looking for a designer/front-end person that could share in some of the work. I had recently sold everything and moved in to my van to conserve my burn rate while I was building out of TechShop. My co-founder told me one of the reasons he joined up was because he found it inspirational that someone would go to such lengths to live for what they wanted to build. We get along as friends first and I think that's the most important trait required for early stage co-founders. If you're looking for a co-founder I'd suggest just being open and honest with what you're building, tell your story, grow your community, build something people want. You also might have some luck over with the Baqqer community with the rest of us. https://baqqer.com/ https://baqqer.com/ [edit] I'd also like to point out that I was building while I was looking, so I had something to show that demonstrated my desire to keep moving forward and demonstrated progress on the idea. This is a good place to be. I'd say don't show up empty handed when trying to find a co-founder.
