What’s the highest value company that was started with a method like this? Genuinely curious, can’t think of one.

Yes, what happened to building side projects? Meeting people that you've worked with that you would care enough to build something with?

Suppose it's the same as online dating vs "meeting the old fashioned way".

I'm also pretty partial to "just work on your hobby and meet someone else". But probably a lot of opportunity left on the table that way. Especially if you know you want to build something serious.
