Awesome piece. Having great cofounders is certainly ideal, but scrambling to find them unnaturally because you think you need them to satisfy a requirement is a bad idea. Most successful founders seem to find each other naturally and work together over and over. It's pretty hard to find people you genuinely like, respect, and want to work with.

In my experience the best way is to start alone and actively promote your work to others. Pretty soon people who are serious about working with you will present themselves.
