I'm sorry you're having difficulty finding a co-founder. If you're a student, try the university.

Y Combinator should really have a dedicated place for people to find co-founders since the 'co-founder' thread seems to be buried.


It's hard to find a good co-founder. The good ones always have other options and most are risk adverse jerks who prefer to stay on with their cushy 9-5 job. Wuss!

And those who are willing to join you as co-founders are low-life good-for-nothing losers who offers nothing to the venture except comic relief for being the mofo jokes that they are.

And who says starting up is easy... Oh yeah. sprinkle a bit of ajax here. a bit of beta there. and voila you got your startup.

Why don't you start sprinkling some salt in that rotting brain of yours!!! (


After reading this post, I think I have a pretty good idea of why you're not able to find a talented cofounder...

Honestly, it's really not that hard, you just need to be proactive about it.

Last year, I posted a URL all around UVa's CS department (and on facebook). On the website, I solicited passionate hackers, telling them, that together - we'd "change the world" (hey, sometimes you need the grandiose visions).

It cost me $50, and I go around 15 talented guys that wanted to spend the summer with me working on a startup. The hardest part was picking two.


Perhaps posting some information as to what you're looking for, location, type of project, etc. might yield a better response and quite possibly help you find that co-founder.

Although, the impression you've given thus far isn't a very appealing one.
