I strongly disagree with this approach. A good technical co-founder needs lots of experience, ideally in both software and business. College students have neither.

Good places to look are local startup hubs and AngelList.

Honestly, this is a hard problem that lots of people face. There's no silver bullet. They'll solve the problem more quickly if they're willing to part with more equity, though.

Thanks for all the comments. I definitely need someone with a bit of experience in knowing what to do. I'd be happy to offer equity, even for a remote CTO, just to help get this on track. Basically a lot of the opportunities lie in creating better experiences for customers, from on-boarding to self management and CRM comms. The business model works, demand is continuing to increase, and marketing is on-point and effective. Hence, a hands on CTO would really take the business to the next step.
