I'm afraid that I do not see this working in the way that you envision. It is hardly scalable is a "business". A startup is a full time commitment, and a successful one plays out over a number of years, not months (like Y Combinator). You can hardly expect someone to co-found with you if you expect to split your time over some large number of startups. Your network of "freelance people" would have to be massive and trustworthy.

There also exists an underlying issue in matching co-founder with co-founder: Founder relationships based upon personal connection are much more likely to succeed than those that aren't. Your process would fall into the latter category.

zach: the idea is, just to say something, start with an idea and end in the venture capital stage. If we can demostrate (traffic or increasing revenues), we should raise venture capital. Formalizing the startup, maybe the founder can be the CEO, maybe we put another expert MBA. So The idea is to buy only good ideas. Not need to be years to make a succesful startup, if we develop several ideas at time with a good number of experts, time goes down and risk too.
