Hey erik, I was in the same boat. Here's my advice. Be proactive and target specific individuals who are doing interesting work. Then invite them out for beers, and pitch them your idea. If they are not interested, then their friends might be. Most people are not looking for work, if they are working, and these are the people that you want to meet. So just invert your search, and instead of broadcasting, start focusing on the individual. |

Advertising broadly for a co-founder is like running an ad that says: BRIDE NEEDED FOR IMMEDIATE BABY PRODUCTION. You might get somebody eventually, but I doubt it will be the caliber of person you want.
I found my cofounder after 3 months of energetically working my personal network. I corresponded with maybe 200 people and met at least 25 in person. If I was going to be spending the next 5-10 years working with somebody, I wanted to be happy with my choice. And I sure am!
