Ask HN: YC co-founder matching is bad

First of all, thanks for building it and as a user, the product is solid that matches the needs well. Note that I used 'matches' not 'solves' as the problem itself is so messy and difficult that a product like this could help but fundamentally it requires two people working together, which is super hard.

My way of somehow hacking it is to come in with low or no expectation. There are otherwise tons of great people on YC co-founder matching site, and almost all conversations I've had were excellent. Even if it didn't help me find a cofounder, I still rate the product highly.

Also chiming in from the CFM team. This point resonated with me based on conversations I've had with some of the teams that matched & are still working together. The evaluation period: asking tough questions, trial projects, equity expectations, and setting a strong foundation to work together are important steps to add onto any cf search -- CFM platform or personal network.
