I wish you are that guy, so that I can say this to you:I've met many many people like you, and none of them are worth spitting on. You're all vapid, pathetic excuses for human beings who are obsessed with power because they have little else going for them. I hope someone successful comes along and takes the money-grabbing harlot, and leaves her in a gutter somewhere. Seems that's where she belongs.This is an excellent revenge story. Revenge in this form is healthy and very satisfying. More! @ “J@C”I’d want nothing more than for that to actually be true.

My business partner Meghann and I are both straight and we do just fine.Call me weird, but - as a dude - if you can't start a business with someone without accidentally penetrating their vagina (in between meetings?) then perhaps you have bigger issues.Meg's a great woman but I learned that you don't have to be romantically involved with all girls... growing up with my sister. We're not involved, either! :) @Karen, I can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

I faced the problem of finding the right partner and realized that actually there are no accessible matching tools. Therefore I founded with other 2 co-founders - youfounder - an online tool that improves the matching process between potential partners in the startup industry. It is actually a process of setting up expectations between the potential partners before partnering. To learn more about the tool you can see our beta at: http://questionnaire.youfounder.com/enlogin.aspx Indeed well put.

Please correct me if I'm misinterpreting something here. Funny, from reading this article, I get the impression that only men should be co-founders.
