       Ask HN: Who is looking for a cofounder?
        
       I'm not sure if there's a better way to ask this, but I'm looking
       for a similar post and might be using the wrong terms to look for
       it. So here it is, who's looking for a partner, helper, cofounder,
       coconspirator, etc?

       | I am disappointed and furious about the progress of our
       | communications industry. ISPs for far too long have been milking
       | the taxpayers and foremost the customers.
       | 
       | During high school, I ran our town's dial-up ISP. This was a high
       | school program to bring internet to our little town, at an
       | affordable non-long-distance price. My most recent employment was
       | taking a wISP from 1300 customers to 5000 customers in 2.5 years
       | with a staff of less than 10. We had 2 IT wizards, the primary
       | owner and myself. The rest were installers/physical maintenance
       | and 2 secretaries.
       | 
       | I'm looking to found an ISP similar to my previous employer, BUT
       | this is going to be a hybrid tower/fiber model ISP that must
       | operate at the lowest cost to consumers possible.
       | 
       | I have worn so many hats it's time to put them all on at once.
       | I'm just not sure if I can pull this off by myself nor will my
       | savings cover the start-up cost.
       | 
       | Sorry for the rant, and no contact info. I should probably spin
       | up the website/email server for contact points while thinking
       | this over.

       | Last time was 100% bootstrapped and solo founder. Would love to
