Better said, How did you meet them?

Unpopular buzzkill answer: You meet good cofounders from the good school you attend, your programming friends, and the top tech companies you work at. If you don&#x27;t know any of those people, you don&#x27;t have any good cofounder candidates and probably never will.<p>There&#x27;s a reason &quot;Poor kid starts a succesful startup&quot; is much rarer than &quot;Upper-middle class kid starts a succesful startup&quot;

Don&#x27;t be afraid to think outside the box. You likely have someone in your network who is a good fit. Especially if you&#x27;re technical. Yiu don&#x27;t need another technical founder, you need someone who&#x27;s good at biz dev and marketing.

Most people would mention school and work.<p>What are people&#x27;s experience with having strangers as co-founders? Some say it&#x27;s pretty risky?

Through your network. I used to think networking was silly, now I am a cofounder.<p>If you live in SF, just go to meetups and coworking spaces and conferences and all that stuff.
