What I have found in terms of co-founders is that people will join when you have traction.
At least in my circle, people aren't risk takers and wouldn't stop their own personal project to work on someone else project.
With so many people having problems finding co-founders, I would suggest they implement something and get some traction. After, find a co-founder who now you can offer less equity since they weren't there to share the initial risk then approach investors.
- thaumaturgy 16y agoYES! Oh man, I want to thank you for saying that. I would love to find a co-founder. I've bootstrapped a successful business, it's going quite well, and I've been doing it for 2.5 years now. I've simply refused to give up at every step of the way -- even though I've often wanted to. And if I have my way, this business is going to get quite big. But, I'm not running the sort of thing that YC would be interested in, and my sporadic efforts locally to drum up support have accomplished little.
- percept 16y agoHave you considered asking HN?
- thaumaturgy 16y agoYes, but I'm following the same pattern that everyone does when they start getting in their own way: there's a laundry list of stuff I want to get in order before I start shopping on sites like HN. However, skmurphy contacted me privately yesterday as a result of the comment, which was awesome. :-)
