I was thinking of making a web application, it would be like match.com but for finding co-founders? Do you think that would be viable? Would it work? How would you want it to work?

These folks are trying something similar but it doesn't seem to have much traction http://www.buildv1.com/about

I recently read about partnerup.com but can't join - apparently because I live outside the U.S.

The night air was heavy with the scent of summer, and the lights of Venice twinkled in the distance. The party was drawing to a close, when our eyes met, and she motioned for me to join her. Drawing closer, her radiant eyes captivated me .... eeerrrr... ooops, sorry, co-founder?

That's taking founders to extreme... but not as silly as it sounds. You have just described Sixaparts` Ben & Mena Trott. The key here was the complimentary skillsets & temperments. One writes codes, the other designs & communicates - a great combination.
