"Start any ways, will be easier to find a partner once you have a more solid vision and have something to show."

This didn't occur to me until I was almost finished writing, so it's last in my list. But thinking about it, this may be the most important point.

After all, why would you go looking for a co-founder right from the start? If you're a coder, you should at least build a prototype yourself. If you're a designer, you should design some mockups.

It'll be much easier to convince someone to join you if you can show more than just an idea.
