Has anyone just completed an exit?

How would you go about finding co-founders?<p>We've run a decent company in the past. We're going to start another. We're looking for 2 or 3 co-founders. We've tried different things, posting on startup blogs but the responses were generally from people with little experience or others who were fixed on a pet project they've been working on after hours. So we created a website with info and posted a link here hoping for some constructive feedback.<p>Do you have any other suggestions?

I'm amused that a lot of the comments here have missed the point that this is their wishlist, not some draconian HR checkbox exercise. They come off as fairly sane to me, so I doubt they'd go "No previous exits? Don't want you."

What was the actual startup that they exited?

Did anybody understand what the post is about? Are they funding new startups from the money they got from exit or they are they want to talk to startups to know if the exit was in the right range? No offense, but I couldn't understand the motivation of the post.

They only work with other people that have exited a startup.<p>Funny stuff.

Note: insisting that your co-founders have "completed an exit" is not going to make you any friends here, because you're suggesting that you're better than others less experienced or less fortunate who have not.<p>Success is obviously preferable to failure, and we all believe that we're talented to a degree that gives us a high enough likelihood of success for startups to be worth pursuing. However, this sort of extreme personalization of results is not attractive.
