Hmm you could just browse kickstarter and steam greenlight (that's what it's called right?). And with the names you can find there you can search further in google etc. to find more info and background on them.
you can network with me also check out indie dev linked in groups, great way to get in touch with others. ive made a lot of indie connections there by making a post about connecting with other indie devs in one of the groups.

There`s actually a job board on them as well, might be worth checking out
and the gamedev.net forums too.
