The number one question you all asked after reading my last blog post about starting a business from scratch was “how do I find my co-founders?&# And therein lies the problem in finding co-founders for that startup you’re dying to launch.

I often get asked about finding cofounders and I usually give the standard list of characteristics of what I look for in a founder.
