Ask HN: How to find an A+ Tech Co-Founder from Scratch

I moved out to the valley to build amazing products, and I know I am not alone. Like many I have worked on amazing projects and I would love to found a company, but I would like to find someone at least as technical as I am, if not more so.

So the question is, how do you find a great co-founder without having worked with them?

I would just pull from my pool of friends, but true-fully none of us are doing well enough to leave our jobs.

I have a few months of personal runway and I am trying to gauge the risk of finding a co-founder, vs a better opportunity in a small funded company.

I almost raised money once before in 2008, so, I know I can raise money now if I can find a co-founder.
