It's nice when you have friends that have the same goals/aspirations. For the rest of us, I suspect the best you can do is to put a lot of effort into searching for someone compatible via a combination of cold outreach, friends of friends, etc. -- being as vocal as possible. (On the other hand, don't let it be your excuse for why something isn't taking off.)

I would take my products, show them to as many people as possible, and find out who is interested. While engaging with those people, explain to them your situation and that you're looking for some help. Try to leverage your potential users' networks. (Just my 2 cents.)

All that aside -- I'd be interested in chatting about what you're working on and seeing if we might collaborate in the future. Feel free to reach out: [e-mail]
