While I agree from a conceptual standpoint, the same argument could be made about online dating - and there are people successfully using it anyways. For some people getting to know a cofounder online might be the only way to find one (e.g. in more conservative parts of the world, where startups are a very rare phenomena).

Yes sure I can see your point. If a site was developed that solved the issues I pointed out then of course I would also reconsider. As a qualifier I would also like to point out that I was a non-technical co-founder in all my previous ventures and the frustrations led me to focusing on developing my technical side to the point where I can do it all myself now. I am between ventures currently but am much more inclined to go solo in the next one at least until I have basic idea validation and traction so I am probably not the norm in this regard.

  We're not in disagreement.. this is actually why I created the post, out of personal frustrations. > If a site was developed that solved the issues I pointed out then of course I would also reconsider This is exactly what I'm going to try and solve. After all the feedback received, this will definitely be my next project I'm taking on. If you have any specifics you could add, please please take the survey and sign up for the beta list. Or send me an email (in my profile) and perhaps we can send a couple quick back and forths on the major issues that you think need addressed. Would be nice to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, even if it's just to validate ideas :)

    I am very interested in peoples processes. How do you start on an idea, how do you validate, what tools do you work with, what would you do to get your first customers, what would you change to get the ones after that etc It is really helpful to get an insight into how people think and work. If I find a moment later I will try and elaborate a bit more.
