Moreover the question should be "why is it that every potential cofounder I meet already has an idea that they want me to join?" And 95% have done zero research (so there are many existing companies doing that), have raised no money (from their own wallet), want me to work full-time for free building their website to do things that can't be done (ai to replace all lawyers, doctors, real estate agents or other licensed trades.)
Valid point! A good signal that you probably don't want to team up with that person :).
Assuming you're a technical co-founder, it should be much easier for you to find a non-technical co-founder, by the way (rather than the other way around)!
