If you are looking for business partners/co-founders, perhaps look into your personal network first, rather than post online.

Most co-founders of successful business are already friends, co-workers, or family members:

  • Facebook: the initial people all are roommates and collegue classmates of Mark Zuckerberg.
  • Stripe: brothers.
  • VMWare: married couple
  • Flickr: married couple.
  • Moz: mother and son.
  • And endless examples of former classmates and collegues.

If people know you and like you won't want to start a company with you, why would a random person on the internet (unless that person wants to scam you.).

Very good point. OP should look into some local networking groups first before going with strangers.
