Met my cofounder on LinkedIn 🙂 I just started sharing content about my work, made networking call … and we met like that.
I wasn’t looking for one to begin with, I started alone which allowed me to choose a co founder I really wanted to work with and not someone by default

I found my co-founder through networking events and startup meetups.
Finding a co-founder can be tricky, but I’ve had luck with online startup communities and forums.
@biralal_murmu Hello! Thanks for your answer! Which communites would you recommend to me apart from PH??
For me, the best way to find a co-founder was through mutual connections. Friends and acquaintances often know someone who might be a good fit.
I hired mine to work on my project and when I realized he was going above and beyond I asked him if he wanted to become a partner instead.
@obsolutionai That's a smart move because you ensured you understood how this person worked and that their skills complemented yours.
I met my co founder ta a local startup event networking in person really helped me find someone with the same vision
my co founder I found through an online platform like Co Founders Lab. It’s a great place to meet like mindes entrepreneurs.
@beatrice_cromwell I didnt know about! I will check it out, thanks a lot
we were college friends nd had similar interests, i think sometimes your network is the best place to look
@lara_bishop That's true! However, we often connect with people who are similar to us (like university friends). This makes it less likely to find someone with a complementary profile, as they might have similar skills, ways of thinking, and opinions as us.
