Greetings everyone,

First of all, I would like to thank MJ for this amazing forum and I am just about 1-2 weeks old in here and I am already able to think clearly on lines of solving problems for greater benefit of community.

I am grateful to Andy Black for his interviews , blogs and replies have been of great help.

After thinking critically and keeping "helping others" parameter as my pole star, I am able to think upon a product idea.

At present, I feel if I could find a reliable co-founder in my quest so that I can expedite the process of development and further streamline product marketing.

I did tried finding few people ( my most reliable trustable people I knew ) in my local network.

But here are the challenges I am facing :
1. They agree and appreciate first & even show great interest but when it comes to committing they avoid calls and meetings.
2. Communication wise, their drive to work extra after 9-5 is missing and on their work done I need to do it again.
3. They are first interested in equity related privileges' first and often discuss it aggressively :( rather than focusing on finding a way to build the product and get our first positive valuable feedback.
4. They offer excuses of having no time and no money to build the product but they always find time for booze and lavish travels.
5. They avoid discussions and may get annoyed if pointed on their criticism.

Now, I don't want to sound as if I am cribbing about others. All these people are very dear to me, but I feel the passion to sacrifice for the cause is missing. To me my goal to build a product to achieve a happy satisfied customer is very important first & foremost.

Reason for me seeking co-founder is 3 fold :
1. Better ideas to build product.
2. Save my time in learning all skills in world, I intend to save my time and divide work.
3. In synergy way, support each other in case we are struggling in achieving our goals.

To summarize, I want to find a genuine, committed individual. I have had good friends , I am confident I will be able to build trust once commitment and intentions to help others are there.

I would be grateful if ways to find a committed co-founder could be shared.

Thank you
