Are there any tools or places to meet a technical co-founder?

Myself and a friend have been designing prototypes and researching a concept for the last couple months. We're feeling good like we're ready to start building the MVP, and although we have some technical skills between the two of us ... there is a skills gap. We're thinking about working with a development studio since we already have a waitlist and some funds to invest, but we'd prefer to find someone to come on this journey with us. At the start of the project we planned to work with an engineer the both of us had worked with before, but in the meantime the company he was contracting with prior to the project got acquired. Now he is stuck with them for a year and we are back to the drawing board. We're really excited about the feedback we've heard and want to move forward. Appreciate your help!
