I've been the subject at least one of these cofounder "dates" and the worst part is it was done under the auspices of speaking to someone who's found a modicum of success in a startup. The introduction given to me was that it was a person with an idea who wanted a sort of "mentor" in the space who can help navigate the technology aspects. The actual date consisted of them pitching me and gauging my interest. I was a little turned off. So my suggestion to the author of this article is to add "Be honest about why you're at the coffee shop." I did see this, though: > “‘Where do I find people?’ is one of the biggest questions I get when people ask me for advice. There isn’t a ‘Tinder for co-founders’ app that everyone is on. Sourcing is hard,” says Lin. Anyone up for a new project? :)
