Is there an app/web service that is like tinder for forming start up teams?

This idea has been on my mind for a little while. What I would like is a platform where I can post my start up project and look for people to join my team. Does something like this exist?

Tinder is where you go to have sex. Start ups are where programmers go to make money and you go to get bankrupt. Do you see why it doesn't work?

Tinder is a tool that creates potential partnerships between people with similar goals. Some partnerships never occur, some partnerships last 30 seconds and others last a lifetime.

In the same vein, a service or app, like Tinder, that lets me scroll through other like minded people with similar or varying skills to form my startup "dreamteam" could be handy. I'm not talking about looking for employees, contractors or investors to work for my startup. Rather, I'm looking for entrepreneurial, skilled and like minded people to form partnerships.

See, you have to form that dreamteam first, then create a prototype together and then finally look for investors, etc. So the possibility for bankruptcy or success comes after forming that dreamteam.

So case in point, cofounderslab seems to do the job.
