How do you go about finding a co-founder at the ideation stage in AU? I have tried attending meet up events etc. but it’s hard to instigate that conversation

Stop wasting time finding a co-founder, often they are friend, family or co-worker. Or someone who believe in your idea and who believes in you. Start building the product & you will meet the co-founder at right stage

Thanks for the advice! I think I’m looking for a co-founder who obviously believes in the idea but also I’m looking for someone to take the journey with me because sometimes time, confidence, direction and motivation all run out so it would be nice to share the journey with someone and learn together instead of fearing failure on my own. Even just a mentor would be nice because my current support system is next to nothing.

But judging from your comment that might not be the mindset of an entrepreneur...

Define your expectations from Co-founder.
Co-founder always do multiple jobs. E.g, Product, Marketing, Design, technology, fund raise, Sales etc .

Try find someone who is capable or willing to wear any of the hat. They will eventually join you as a co-founder if you are building worthwhile
