Couldn't disagree more. I think I know the co-founder market quite a bit: I ran the co-founders meetup in Silicon Valley for a few years, and ran foundrs.com to get people to work together on startups.
1. As a business, targeting broke founders is not a get-rich-quick approach. I did it for love of entrepreneurs.
2. Finding a co-founder is hard. Over the years, I became convinced that personal chemistry is very important (that's why I moved from an online site to in-person meetups). And it takes time. Think 1 month of working together, minimum, before you even should consider someone as a co-founder.
After ~3 years of effort, the one very successful result fro my efforts is the co-founders equity calculator. That is something that a lot of people use, learn from, and solves an immediate issue. If you are curious, it's now the only content on the home page of http://foundrs.com http://foundrs.com
