Hi,

Assuming no one has any business connections...how does one go about finding potential partner(s) for a site concept?

w/o sounding weird, to say the least.

If you don`t have any connections, go out and make some.  Start meeting others in your local entrepreneur or tech communities.  Look for events or meetups.

First your friends (be careful), then your coworkers or ex-coworkers, then I would try college/university campuses, then the internet as a last resort.

lol - I lost a friend because of a failed potential  business plan.
One was putting in more work than the other(and we equally agreed so), yet the other demanded still it be 50/50 ownership, revenue spilt.

As for all the internet sites, I used most of the main ones - I got nowhere.
As for college campuses, how? I post flyers on boards? or create a stand/kisok for a few days?

Lawence,
If you don`t know this person very well, a background check is a must.  You need to find out this person`s professional past and contact other people he (or she) has worked with.
Good Luck,
