I agree. It is nearly impossible!

If they are young, they are full of their own ambitions and ideas. It is hard to cooperate. If they are old, they already have built something in the past and not looking for help in exchange of new risks.

Finding a co-founder is an additional full-time job. I have tried that in 2018 when I was starting my startup. I spent days on meetings and forums like this one.

I found dozens of amazing folks, but it was impossible to negotiate and actually start something together.

Finding a co-founder = finding a girlfriend. You do not seek for one intentionally. You just live having a chance to meet that one. Same with a co-founder.
