Ask HN: Did you find a co-founder online?

2 pointsbobnarizes1 comment

As Paul Graham already posted. One of the most important aspects to make your start-up succeed is to have a co-founder.

Now, with the corona situation I’m struggling to find one.

If you found your co-founder online, where did you find it and what shall I look at?

I live in Germany if this is relevant

Around 10 years ago, I found my cofounder partner in Facebook Marketplace, of all places. He posted that he was looking for a developer partner to build an event discovery website. That project never really went anywhere, but instead we started a web development agency and we are still in business. I still work pretty much daily with him.

A year ago I saw a post looking for technical cofounder in r/startups (reddit.com/r/startups). I contacted the poster, and we are now still working building our MVP.
