In that case you might get advisors. Many/most of the startups get advisors, people that get some small % of the shares (usually under 2%) to bounce the ideas with. If you let co-founder in you are not only sharing % of the company but also vision. Getting co-founder is like getting married, if you struggle to find someone you know and trust maybe it's better to stick with advisor for now.
