I really like your idea of speed dating idea applied to cofounders.

well, if you like to work on it, I would be glad to describe the idea to you.

P.S: I would really like to see something like this

The problem with http://collabfinder.com/, http://programmermeetdesigner.com/, http://cofoundr.com, http://partnerup.com is that they seem like job boards. I'm not looking for an employee to execute my idea.

I want to discuss ideas with them and agree together on what we want to work on.

I'm looking for a co founder who is willing to share some of risk of founding a startup. They may contribute capital, programming skills, design skills, but it's really the startup mindset that's most important. That's what makes them different from an employee.

I think these sorts of sites are the best you're going to do if you nobody you already know fits the bill and hence you and your potential cofounder are starting out as strangers. The qualities that you're (rightly) looking for are much more easily selected for among people that you already know personally. Meatspace is your best bet, news.yc is a distant second, and partnerup and the like are third.

I guess you are right. Most people I know arent startup types and are satisfied in their job. The startup types I know have their own startup or are working in a startup.

I'm trying to find startup types who are looking to start a startup.

Are you in the bay area?

Also what's your area of expertise: developer/designer/marketing etc

mine is engineering/product

Yes, my wife just gave me a strange look!

thanks. I'm here in the valley now and I've signed up to get event mails from those groups.
