Even if you ultimately manage to find a tech cofounder, it may take you months, and a couple of failed attempts before the relationship starts working. Plenty of tech people will approach you and say "it's doable", but then run out of motivation, etc.
Also - keep in mind that a cofounder is, well.. a cofounder! It's not a "de facto employee, who you pay with shares instead of cash". He will want to influence the overall project direction, and he will want to change all the things you planned so far into the product. I've met plenty of business people who told me that they were looking for a tech cofounder, but in reality didn't want to hear my design suggestions.
The tech-business partnerships work well, but only in some cases. It's usually two people who knew each other, who developed the idea together, and who were in a similar situation. Otherwise you're up for a tough start, because you will feel a lot of pressure to work (it's your idea, you spent a lot of time planning it), but your newly found partner will not. Even worse - if the partnership fails, it will not be easy to fire him.
There are plenty of routes that may be a better fit for you. You could do a proof of concept by yourself, sell it to a corporation and use the money from the sale to hire a tech guy. You could hire a student to do the first version, you could get some angel money and start a team... Really - desperately looking for a tech cofounder is not always the best option.
