This is the monthly "Co-Founder? Seeking Co-Founder?" post.
It would be great if whoishiring takes this over.
Example:
SEEKING CO-FOUNDER | FinTech | CEO/Sales | US/EU/Worldwide | Pre-Seed
A great idea in the taxation niche, MVP ready to go. Ideally someone with local connections to SMEs.
I'm potentially looking for a CEO for a legal tech startup; I gave this a go about a year ago with a friend with me in the CEO position, and we didn't get very far. I think I'd be a better CTO, and I'd like to build a different version that tries to solve the same set of problems, but which leverages LLMs.

As these haven't been working, I think it's probably time to give up on the attempt to create a new monthly thread around this—can I ask you to stop posting them?
There are a couple reasons why I'm not inclined to support this one even though your intention is obviously good: one is that similar threads in the past haven't done very well—I think that there just isn't a high-enough concentration on HN of people looking for cofounders for a thread like this to effectively match them. It will either get ignored, or drowned in noise, or become repetitive, even from month to month.
The other reason is that YC already has a site for cofounder matching: https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching, and this problem is probably more on the YC side of the yard.
