I want to know how founders actually find the right co-founder..

Like someone with complementary skills, shared ambition, and long-term alignment.. and not just someone who can code or a friend who’s available

im more into product thinking, concept, ux/user psychology, branding, growth, and vision but i know building something serious also needs technical execution, systems thinking, operations, etc..tho im stepping into techincal side to learn, as to understand and communicate better with the buddy..

the problem is.. most people either want instant startup success, they disappear after a week or everyone has the exact same skillset

I want to know:

1. Where do you realistically meet strong co-founders?
2. How do you test compatibility for both of you before committing?
3. Have any of you actually found a great co-founder online?

would genuinely love honest experiences/stories and valuable advice..
