How Do You Find a Co-Founder/Partner?

from the self-post dept.

I have an awesome idea, but no co-founder/partner!?

I could crank out the application myself in 4 & 1/2 - 5 & 1/2 months, but that's too long for the 3 month period.

Also, having a co-founder (at least I feel)really helps in getting a YC spot.

So, how would any of you guys go about finding someone that would share your vision as a coder and would be trustworthy enough not to steal your idea!?

4.5-5.5 months sounds like a pretty short development cycle for a product. If you started tomorrow, you'd probably be done before WFP finished.

That's not for the finished product, thats for a prototype to build off, show VC's etc and I'd be developing using Ruby on Rails, that's why it'd be so short.
