> What's the best way to meet someone who has a problem that needs to be solved?

Either:

-Use your experience as an employee: you might have already seen some enterprise pain points, and you have contacts!

- Go freelance and work for clients: you will discover a lot of pain points that need to be solved with real customer waiting for a solution!

> Alternately how do you meet someone with a complimentary skill set that has similar goals? Any intermediate steps I should consider?

Lots of opportunities: meetups, conferences, local groups, coworkers, etc.
