How would you approach a potential co-founder via email?
icey: I like all the enthusiasm you've got for your idea.It's an easy mistake to look at things from a purely rational standpoint and mentally check off all of the traits that you're looking for; but you really need to spend some time working with someone to know if it's going to be a good fit for sure.Trying to reach out to someone to ask them to cofound a company with you isn't that far away from emailing a woman and asking her to marry you just because you think the two of you like the same things.All that being said, you should definitely get in touch with this person and say that you've got some things going on that you think he  might be interested in, and maybe try to meet up or work on a small project together or something like that first.
