I'm a nontechnical person and I've always struggled with pairing up with the right cofounder. It's quite hard to team up with someone who has similar interests and is ready to go full time on something when you are from your existing network. I've been using the platform for a month or two and have had some great matches already; ironically the two people I've been working with most closely (working with one another for a few months to see if we gel) did end up coming from my network but I still am active on the platform and highly recommend it to folks who are searching for a cofounder. I was a little hesitant at first because I figured best practice was to work with someone you had a pre-existing relationship with, otherwise the potential for a bad breakup down the line would be higher or accelerators/vc's would judge you but candidly, I'm a lot less worried about that now given the quality of the matches and that a leader in the space like YC is championing this.
