I would, but I'm not in the hardware space. Having said that, why look for a founder at this stage of the game. You always see YC entrants after the fact "seeking additional cofounder" etc. There was an article flouting around very recently about this very topic, e.g - Applying as a solo founder, finding a founder. The author suggests and I tend to agree, focus on product, not revenue, not finding a founder until a certain set of criteria are met. Choosing the wrong founder can kill and idea faster than you think, at least that was the ultimate argument. Calculating the risk of not getting "in" as a solo founder isn't bad either. I wish I could point you to the article, but best of luck.
I would certainly hope to find the "right" co-founder, and ideally i wanted to test the waters with this post and see who i might make connections with -- whether or not we decide to apply together.
But really I do want a co-founder on this project, because i've worked on enough projects alone, and though i could hold my own for a while, it seems more productive and fun to be working with a partner.
ps. not just looking for hardware people. anyone interested in the space would be great to connect with. Mobile developers would be esp. great to partner with at this stage, because as i mentioned, i really do see a lot of mobile prototyping to kick things off.
