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.
Had learned to code during my professional break last year and had started building Threado solo at first. After a few months, we had a small team of 3 (1 ops, 1 junior dev, me).
While the coding part was fun for me, decided to do what was right for [Threado](https://threado.com) for the long term. Reached out to my network and got connected to my co-founder and CTO. We spent 8-10 hours that week discussing the opportunity, our vision, journey so far etc. Then worked for a couple of months before going all-in.

I have had the experience to work with multiple co-founders, some good others not as great. Working with them on another project first is the key for me. I highly recommend someone that you have worked with and get along fine, as opposed to a good friend that you have never worked with before.

Reddit - I had an idea for our startup and we both connected. Funny enough, he is Italian with very little English, so there was a little language gap to get over at first. But now we're working as a well-oiled machine and just launched our app DollarProxy :)

I think its waste to search for cofounder.
you work on theproblem you love. explain about theproblem, how to solve it.
if you any one interested, supporting for long time, you can choose him
I found my co-founder via YC co-founder matching platform after meeting with over 20 people there.

I met my developer, Tao Li, through a mutual friend we met at a social event. Since then, we've been working closely together, even though we're usually working remotely.
Over time, we've built a strong sense of trust and reliance on each other's word, making our partnership a success.
Similar questions, so pasting my answer from the previous one.
We met at an engineering college and my co-founder was my senior. It wasn't until the time for his farewell that we spoke. He approached me as he was looking for someone who could help him build a team for his project. We clicked as our visions were quite similar for example we wanted to create something that was useful for the people and could be converted into business as well.
A lot of other things aligned as well :) So here we are with our ultimate product bloghunch.com
