I'm all for charging for things...but, you haven't done the business development needed to make your site a destination. With no one looking, ads on your site have no value.
There have been a half dozen other "hackers find co-founders" sites spawned here at HN, and so far all have been free...and they haven't really gone anywhere (though there may have been some traction gained since I last looked). I'll be absolutely stunned if a pay site like this goes anywhere. If it is to go anywhere, you need to get your biz dev down to a science...and it needs to be what you're doing every single day.
