Great; what criteria do you wish to search for? What commitment level do you expect? What are you offering people in return - 50% equity? 5% and £200 pd? Some other combination? Have you completed your BMC? Has feedback from potential customers been sought? Which of these questions should be incorporated in a cofounder finder site?

  Those are all great questions, but I wouldn't necessarily expect to see all of them on a cofounder finding site. I'd rather ask these questions in person. I'm looking for people who can build stuff, so a meetup of programmers looking for co-founders would be more useful. Besides, my comment was directed at you personally in terms of working with me, not as a general comment on co-founder finding sites. Sorry, I assumed you were looking for a co-founder, but maybe you're not?

    Hi - cheer for the followup. I am looking for Manchester based cofounders in a variety of disciplines, for a variety of ideas. Because people have various different experiences I'd expect to be able to narrow it down before meeting, so you're sure that it's worth meeting & to make sure people have thought about it properly / have previous interests in that sector etc. Though in a lot of senses I think it's worth keeping it an informal collaboration, and jointly evolving an idea. This gives more buy in. For me my ideal team would be two techies; one with more front end & UX knowledge, and an experienced sales/business orientated pitcher. I'd probably be one of the techies initially, but there's younger people who can do this quicker.

      Well, if you come down to London any time, I'll be up for a drink/coffee anyway. Good luck with your search!
