Email a local college. They'll be happy to forward your request to all the students in the college. College students will also be happy to work for pretty much anything above minimum wage.

They might not be the top 1%, 10x value developer you need right now, but in 1 to 2 years they will be.

The original poster is looking for a "technical co-founder", which is a business partner, not just a developer. As the business grows, this person will need to be able to hire and manage the technical team, not just write code. Hiring a college student with no full-time work or business experience doesn't seem like the right choice for this kind of position. You'd probably want someone who has a pretty broad experience in the kinds of technology that the company is using, and the ability to plan for the future based on experience and intuition. (Especially so since the company is bootstrapped - a technological blunder could cause the founder to lose their own investment, which feels a lot worse than losing some VC's money.)

I strongly disagree with this approach. A good technical co-founder needs lots of experience, ideally in both software and business. College students have neither.

Good places to look are local startup hubs and AngelList.

Honestly, this is a hard problem that lots of people face. There's no silver bullet. They'll solve the problem more quickly if they're willing to part with more equity, though.

Thanks for all the comments. I definitely need someone with a bit of experience in knowing what to do. I'd be happy to offer equity, even for a remote CTO, just to help get this on track. Basically a lot of the opportunities lie in creating better experiences for customers, from on-boarding to self management and CRM comms. The business model works, demand is continuing to increase, and marketing is on-point and effective. Hence, a hands on CTO would really take the business to the next step.
