Looking at your profile, as a technical person you'll be a lot more in-demand than someone non-technical. Go to meetups and talk about your ideas online, people will naturally come out of the woodwork the more you talk about your high-in-the-sky plans.

Here's an idea for someone to build up. Make a dating site for founders and cofounders. That would do really well in SV. Probably could even run in real life speed dating.

That's not exactly my field of interest but I'd sign up for something like that when I get out of college and need to finally get to building things.

If I was to set you homework, it'd be to talk to 10 founders on your idea. See if they think it'd be useful. Talk to founders in SV and other cities (and other countries).

Do the research before building anything, otherwise you could be wasting your energy on something people don't want.

There are already a bunch of these actually. I think cofounderslab is the most well known but there are a bunch of others.
