Unfortunately, location has a huge impact on finding a co-founder. I live in Detroit and I am having the same problem trying to find anyone motivated enough to build a startup with.

One idea I am considering is to partner up with someone online to begin development on the project. If the two of you can work together and build a reasonable prototype, then consider an eventual move to silicon valley and applying for funding and such.

Agreed. I'd be open to this type of situation.

But how to find said person.. there isn't an online community of potential co-founders that I'm aware of.

Maybe the best solution is what nudge suggested. The idea seems more appealing the more I type this comment. And if I want to present my idea to HN, that'll really motivate me to get my shit together.

Send me an e-mail if want to consider this.

tj - i have two people in detroit area who would likely be interested in talking to you about a startup opp. email me if you're interested.

I don't see your e-mail in your profile. Are they willing to relocate as well to SV?

email's in my profile - mgkimsal@gmail.com (shows it to me - not sure why you don't see it). No, neither are able to relocate at this time (not sure if they're willing but I know in short term that's out of the question). You mentioned Detroit, which is why I brought it up.
