Comment on How did you find your cofounder?

Comments

I would just focus on finding good friends who are hackers.

The co-founder relationship will form naturally when/if both of you are ready to start a company. You are in a great place to meet good hackers. Who knows, maybe some of the friends you are meeting now will become future business partners.

One of my co-founders was just a friend in school who I worked together with on projects. After school, we began working at the same company before starting to talk about leaving to do a startup. But if I would have asked him in school I'm sure he would have said "are you crazy".. Some people just need some convincing :)

Another co-founder is a cousin but we've been talking about this stuff for over 10 years so that choice was obvious.
