What's the best way to find/evaluate a Marketing co-founder?

I've been working on my mobile security startup since last 6+ months and the product is getting close to demo phase. I've registered the corporation..etc. Right now i'm planning to raise funds so preparing pitching deck. it appears that without co-founder it will be really hard to raise money. I'm coming from engineering/tech background and i am looking for business development/marketing person as co-founder. how do you find co-founder? I've been attending start-up meet-ups and talked to lot of people but i couldn't find the right person.

The question you mentioned in the example is not about "Business development" though. – Satish May 21 '12 at 22:56
Your stated question is "i am looking for business development/marketing person as co-founder. how do you find co-founder?". The question I linked to is specific to finding a marketing co-founder, which is what you asked. However, in addition to that question we already have a lot of other questions on this site related to finding a co-founder, which should provide you with plenty of information. – Zuly Gonzalez♦ May 22 '12 at 2:55

Think of the weaknesses you have, and research to find where such animals congregate. Hate to say it (since it will not come off nice) but finding a co-founder isn't a matter of a drive by meeting at the local meet-up.

There are a bunch of good posts in onstartups - and here is an older TC article that may help. http://techcrunch.com/2009/10/11/finding-your-co-founders/
