I don't think this is actually broken. The traits needed for quality cofounders are actually pretty rare and even more so for founders who get along well enough to make a great company.

I see this the same way as I do looking for a spouse. You can't shortcut this process and founder "dating" sites or mixers will have the same problems as dating ones. You have to make sure you are bringing to the table the skills needed to fill the roles you will be playing. In this regard it's a bit more straight forward than dating because you should be able to point to a history of accomplishments that prove you can fill those roles.

Beyond that though it's just a series of interactions that make the other person feel comfortable partnering with you.
