I think you're looking for a co-founder before you need one. That's not the step you need to solve right now. Have you done anything towards your idea yet? When you start showcasing your abilities (selling, designing, writing, networking, planning) that's when it's far easier to get technical people on board, because then you sound hardworking, creative, easy to work with & thoughtful (i.e you've done what you can before you expect others to pitch in) You need to get to a point where you have done EVERYTHING you can possibly do to prepare for the building stage. That shows a co-founder they can hit the ground running with their skills & won't have to think every tiny detail through, you've shown commitment to your own project. Go speak to potential customers, do surveys, ask if they'll part with their money for your idea, Create a Twitter account & start to draw a following, name your startup, buy the domain, set up a Wordpress blog, draw wireframes of EVERY stage of your idea. Collect examples of designs, interactions and UI that you love. Having pre-orders turns heads like you wouldn't believe. If that all sounds like too much work then having a co-founder is the least of your worries.
