Over the past 20 years as a maker, I have had 4 co-founders. Finding a co-founder is like finding a spouse. You should 'date' first. Patience is important. 1. **Network: **Talk to as many people about your project. See if there might be a match. See who really gets excited. 2. **Narrow your candidates:** They don't' have to know you are looking for a co-founder yet. Over a period of time, meet with a few people 3. **Do 1:1's:** Find the right hook to bring one to two people closer to your project - mentor/advisor, project-based work. Test them out. See if you are compatible. Get a feel for their work. 4. **Make the ask:** Float the idea out to someone you think would be a match. "I'm looking for a co-founder. Is this something you might consider? " 5. **Nurture the relationship:** It's important to grow the relationship. You will be spending so much time with this person. Take the time to really get to know them. Hope that helps.
Question: At what point do you look for a cofounder?
