How do you find a cofounder if you want to start a company
rogercosseboom: I was actually in the same situation as you- unfortunately I'm out of school and seperated from the most important source of feedback/support/cofounders: the people in your program.Anyone can be a cofounder.  Most often its friends, or friends of friends, but sometimes its an interested professor(MIT has a long history of this) or random people in your study group that show an aptitude in the field.  I would strongly advise you to approach everyone with your idea, explaining what you hope to achieve and the possible setbacks/technical hurdles to come.  Ask everyone you know if they know anyone who does something similar.  If they come back at you with a few good ideas, or approach the problem from an angle you haven't thought of, then you have a candidate.  Eventually you'll find someone as enthusiastic and interested in the area as you, which is perhaps the most important trait, and its a good indication of the type of person who will stick it out and help you change the world.
