I am working on a hardware project and was in the same position you are.. Finding a partner came from an unexpected angle for me. Since I had no idea what I was doing and I was learning everything from the web on the fly after a while I realized that just talking to the right people helps a lot. I reached out to a few people that were in the same position I was a few years back and now running successful companies in the industry (old successful kickstarter projects are a great source but, just following the news in your field helps too) - I really reached out just to get advice and to learn from them. One of them, really liked the idea and offered to help me bring it to market.. it was a no brainer for me, it's been 1.5 months since, he helped me get the patent pending and now working with me really hard to make this happen... So to sum up I really think that if you just reach out, not even with the agenda of finding a cofounder/partner but just to get advice from the right people you'd be surprised how many people are willing to help, and, you might even find a partner that will be passionate about the idea just as you.
-because your goal is not find someone who's just qualified, you need someone who is also passionate about it at least as much as you are. Hope that helps... |

It is already being used by a company that I developed for. I see that there is a potential for going public.
I am good at creating but I am not good at marketing. I can do the marketing if I need to but doing everything is sufficating. I've been already pushing 4-5 AM days. That's why I decided to get a partner.
I am not sure how hard to find the right partner but I guess the real problem is how to share, how to calculate the value of my side project, how to protect myself without insulting the partner.
HN was the first place to start my search, let's see what time brings.
I am located in NY.
