I have most of the skills required to lead a team and operate my business, however it is going to be difficult to get funding with only one founder. I need somebody with a recognized business background. I am currently living in a small rural area which would require finding somebody from outside my region and working with them remotely.
Finding the right co-founder is like a marriage. It's not a good idea to jump to bed with whoever comes along. Most investors and accelerators bet for the team that have a previous relationship before.
The best option is definitely to spend time in the geographical area you'd like your co-founder to be and start going to startup meetups and events. It takes time, but it's worth it when you find the right partner.
Although I don't recommend it, here are some websites that can match you with co-founders:
