Finding a co-founder is hard, and sometimes it takes a lot of time.
Folks who have co-founders, drop your tips, hacks, and methods on finding one so that you can help fellow founders who are seeking one.
My partners and I met on Twitter. That's when I was thinking about building a SaaS product, caught some interesting ideas and needed someone to work alongside to validate it.
I tweeted my ideas & expectations, reached to the one I thought he's a perfect fit...And yeah, finally there's one!
Luckily, we made quite a team!
I met my co-founder at college and we then went to the same university, decided to start a business together after we finished.

Yes, my latest co-founder I found on LinkedIn. I know LinkedIn gets a bad rap, but the connections I made through it have been high quality.
Before that, I found my previous co-founder in a coworking space, and we joined forces scarily fast, took us about 30 min. to click with each other and we were building already.
There is another way to find a co-founder. You can participate in hackathons, just pick the ones in which you have expertise. There are a number of people who are looking for teammates. E.g. search here https://devpost.com/
Finding a co-founder is a slow process because requires time working together to build trust and commitment with the product. I think the chances of finding great co-founder decreases while the product moves forward.
Ex-coworkers are a good source to find co-founders.
