Looking for a business co-founder is comparatively easier than looking for a technical co-founder. There are tons of people out there who have ideas but don't have the technical background or readily available technical resources to do a prototype and market validation.
Just one piece of unsolicited advice -- Go with a business co-founder who has some unique expertise in the domain/verticle you would want to pursue. If he/she had to do "market research" to determine the potential of your future product, that is usually not a good place to start. The business guy should (emphasis) know by experience, the product/market fit.
Goodluck with your quest!

I've been burned a bunch of times by working with smooth talking guys who seemed to be good at 'business' but were completely useless in practice. Because they were all talk.
