Unfortunately, location has a huge impact on finding a co-founder. I live in Detroit and I am having the same problem trying to find anyone motivated enough to build a startup with.
One idea I am considering is to partner up with someone online to begin development on the project. If the two of you can work together and build a reasonable prototype, then consider an eventual move to silicon valley and applying for funding and such.
- kluikens 16y agoAgreed. I'd be open to this type of situation. But how to find said person.. there isn't an online community of potential co-founders that I'm aware of. Maybe the best solution is what nudge suggested. The idea seems more appealing the more I type this comment. And if I want to present my idea to HN, that'll really motivate me to get my shit together.
- tjsnyder 16y agoSend me an e-mail if want to consider this.
- mgkimsal 16y agotj - i have two people in detroit area who would likely be interested in talking to you about a startup opp. email me if you're interested.
- tjsnyder 16y agoI don't see your e-mail in your profile. Are they willing to relocate as well to SV?
- mgkimsal 16y agoemail's in my profile - mgkimsal@gmail.com (shows it to me - not sure why you don't see it). No, neither are able to relocate at this time (not sure if they're willing but I know in short term that's out of the question). You mentioned Detroit, which is why I brought it up.
