Earlier quoted context omitted.
Co-founders, like women, are often found randomly. I found two of mine on Hacker News. They rock.
Two of whom? Women or co-founders? :)
Why does it have to be one or the other? :P

#22This is a very neat/noble effort. However, I personally would never co-found a company with a person that I essentially found on a 'dating' site. I see that you "built" this on Ning. Are your plans to actually move it to a more robust platform if it takes off?

How exactly did that happen?

I don't think it has to be random. I meet most potential partners through organizations. Try a organization like the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Dallas, where I'm from, has one of the oldest chapters in the nation. You could also try Startup Happy Hours and design groups like Refresh. You've got to get out and network.
