Of course this is the obvious answer, but, the op already knows that. They are asking because, they have some conundrum that they can't put heir finger on. We need more information.

Why losing a co-founder is a problem? Only they have the technical ability? Only they have the insight to the sector? The fund depends on their name? The fund depends on the partnership? co-founder is irreplaceable in some way? Op has time limits? Op lacks the technical/social abilities to replace partner?

I don't have the technical abilities, that's the only thing. Definitely the co-founder is replaceable. I have just hire someone to continue the work and see how things go before asking to be a co-founder and don't burn money on salaries in this very early stage. What would be your recommendation for me?

It's the talent finding question, we are all having and fighting right now. If you watch HN carefully you would see that we have at least 4 - 5 talent finding guidelines or startups popping up daily.

HN is a good place for looking for talent, but you need to give more information about what you want to build. Also you need to create interest in people because it's really an early stage venture with low funding. Considering money is the first incentive you need luck, or you need to show that you have the chance to become a unicorn.

Also you may try angel.co.

So good luck.
