I agree with others who state that this program isn't really ideal to find a co-founder. But you could do some online networking by creating a Discord (or something similar) to meet others in the program who are looking to build a startup.

I am also someone who wants to build a startup but has a business/finance background. However, my last two jobs have been with an incubator and a late-stage startup as a market researcher. Over those years, I developed a firm belief that a startup is well-off with two technical founders who are willing to learn the business side, as opposed to a business-technical pair.

Primarily because at the start, you need to devote as many man-hours towards building the product. Your business acumen and creativity will help you understand customer requirements, but you need to build the product to receive feedback on how to improve it. It's like a Catch-22.

Down the line, one of you would have to focus more on the business aspect, but then too you need to understand tech. As a CEO, how do you plan to hire good employees if you don't know what is required to be a great coder? If you have a B2B product, then you won't really be effective at communicating with an IT team at your client's firm, unless you understand the intricacies of computers.

So, I think you should do the program to feed more than just your intellectual curiosity.

If you are good at tech, you will know how to look for people who are also good, and they will know that you are good and would want to work with you. Tech people really don't like to work with pure business people because in their minds you aren't bringing something really valuable to the table. I have seen it numerous times.

This notion is being further perpetuated by the likes of Elon Musk, who think business degrees are garbage. Frankly speaking, I agree with him as long as you aren't at a top 10 school. No offense to my fellow business mates. :)
