Interesting idea and I hope it works out.
The problem I see is that you can't exactly apply the online dating model to finding a co-founder. With online dating, you presumably date a number of people before finding someone acceptable/awesome. Sometimes it takes multiple dates to figure things out for sure.
But for a start-up founder, you can't go start multiple companies just to be sure they are the one. You need a level of trust and an ability to work together that you just can't get from a couple of lunch meetings.
I do hope they can prove me wrong though, because that would be awesome.
- joshuacc 16y agoThe problem you're describing applies to marriage (or other long-term relationships) as well. It seems to me that the best way around this problem isn't to create a site which aims at getting people "married", but at getting them to go out on a few "dates" together. In other words, doing some short-term projects together before committing for the long haul.
- fnazeeri 16y agoGreat point. Co-founders should "date" and not do shotgun weddings.
