Make sure what you are doing is SOLVING a user problem, not giving them a WAY to solve their problem. If you are making a site to help entrepreneurs find co-founders, you'd better deliver on that promise: if people that use your site can't find a co-founder within 3 weeks of trying, they are not going to come back again.
