I built startuplinkup.com over a few days as an exercise on Semantic Mediawiki. It became a bit more than just an exercise, but it also became obvious that is not the best model to solve the co-founder dating problem. So I am looking for a good co-founder dating site to redirect my traffic.

What site would you suggest? What are your experiences, if any, with "co-founder dating" sites? Here are a few that I also contacted directly, and received some warm responses: http://www.techcofounder.com/ http://fairsoftware.net/home http://www.partnerup.com/ http://startupsquare.com/ http://cofoundr.com/ http://www.cofoundergoogledocs.com/ http://amb.itio.us/

After a spike in January, startuplinkup.com traffic settled at around 1000 unique visitors per month and an Alexa ranking of 360,000 - whatever that means. Interestingly enough, USA and India were the top , everything else was a distant second.

No reasonable offer refused. And anything between a million bucks and "I'll buy you a beer" is reasonable. But more than maximizing the number of beers I receive, I am interested in giving it away to the site that is likely to emerge as the leader, and ideally begin the process of consolidating this "business". It's not large market, and too much segmentation is detrimental to innovation. A single, good place to find your co-founder would be great.

As you may remember, www.startuplinkup.com was initially created with the data from the co-founder google doc started by Jay Liew.

It seems a weird concept to have a co-founder dating/ job board as a (semantic) wiki, but I guess it's simplicity and openness fits the "startup culture".

I added the "featured" sections, a Startup Services category, and maybe we could build a wiki of startup advice (the green section).

What do you think?
