We launched a similar app over the weekend (loved the idea of a cofounder meeting site), it's at http://findmycofounder.com/. We based the design on the comment thread (well, most of it). We added searching by geography, skills, primary focus, etc. It's an evolving thing, so suggestions are more than welcome.
Just a small critique:
I am usually in the camp of "more contrast please!", but seeing the results in pure black on white was jarring, especially with it being bold.
Might I recommend you lighten the black a bit or add some background color to reduce the contrast? (The yellow box at the top is more pleasing to the eye)
