If you register now for Startup School 2019, you can now start using the directory to find other single founders looking for a cofounder. Filter by proximity, vertical and company description. This is a really great free resource to help you do the single best thing to help your startup.

Over 11K founders have already signed up for Startup School. Classes start July 22nd. https://startupschool.org

Is this an official Ycombinator project or something else?

"Cofounder dating" is a bad idea. Cofounders should be friends before starting the company.

A little bit off topic and a bit pessimistic, but I have just started a new company and I am surprised how high the rates are for services related to job postings/cofounders. Linkedin, angellist etc. If you don't watch out you can easily spend 50k on zero result. Unfortunately not all startups are backed by 5m. Wonder how much this service costs.

YC Startup School is free, you can just sign up before the July 22nd deadline.

Startup School is a good way to start finding a friend with similar interests. You gotta start somewhere.
