Please indicate if your ideal cofounder is or not TECHNICAL and what skills you'd like them to excel at. Also present your startup or idea here. Tell us what's it that makes you unique or distinguishes you from your competitors as well.
Don't forget to include an email people can get in touch with.
I'm a fullstack dev looking for a cofounder with contacts for B2B (coding skills not needed), maybe YC companies themselves, and that's good at selling. The project is about bringing 1,000 employees to your pocket, like Devin AI but for anything. The ideal customer are startups that need quick fixes in many different areas integrated in their environments (Slack, GitHub, Discord...) rather than big enterprises. Hit: contacto.nty.es@gmail.com

You can try YC co founder matching but that’s also filled with incompetent people at best or toxic snakes at worst who will waste your time end of the day, especially if you have made progress already.
Your best best (if you’re serious and not just a fan of calling yourself a FOUNDER) is to just learn, build, and sell.
Learn what you don’t know. Build what you can. You need to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
Your cofounder is probably burning out at a golden handcuffs job and might see your progress and want to join.
Don’t waste your time or worse equity (yes 1yr cliff and vesting, but still you’ll meet complete idiots who don’t understand anything who just waste your time) on randoms who are probably 5% as passionate about the problem you’re trying to solve.
Hire people if you need. There are loads of people who are open to work right now and you can hire them on fixed contract.
in yc cofounder matching there's just too much noise and i wanted to sort that out posting this here directly
It’s not rocket science to figure out how to do sales and make connections. I’m a highly “extroverted introvert” so I’ll force myself to step outside my comfort zone and do whatever is necessary for success.
I just hate freeloaders and scammers, and dipshits who cosplay as visionaries wearing turtleneck sweaters.
