So, you have an idea, and all you need is a technical guy to make it happen. The problem is, whatever your idea is, you're failing to sell it to the very people you need to help make it succeed. "the technical co-founder should understand that it's a startup" is a bogus excuse. The co-founder you're looking for is smart enough to take your idea and implement it, but you don't respect his or her ability to assess risk? If you're selling an idea and no one's buying, you're either not making clear how you expect the idea to succeed, or you're being very clear and your potential co-founders don't think it's worth the risk.
