I kind of disagree. In a way Startup School is the same thing. I think when you can assure that all the people are really serious about being there (and are also reasonably qualified) it makes for a higher quality event. I would far rather attend Startup2Startup than Lunch 2.0 for example, the quality of the networking is orders of magnitude better.
In the case of looking for people to start a company with I think I would appreciate that the people who are there have been screened by some sort of process.
Well for startup school, there's limited seating, and high profile panel speakers. A founder dating session probably won't even attract 30 people if there's no indication of content.
