Say what you build and who you need
A search is a short, structured page about your venture. Our team checks it before it goes live.
- What you build: problem, solution, traction and stage
- Your team today, each with their consent
- What you offer: an equity range, salary and the hours you expect
- Your must-haves, such as skills or location
The people who fit, best first
You see people who are available for a co-founder role and pass your must-haves. Each card shows the mutual fit and which criteria fit, partly fit or do not.
Requests come with a note and the fit
People who want to join can ask you for an intro. You read their note, their terms and the fit, and answer within 14 days. Say yes, and you both get email and phone. Say no, and they get a neutral notice without your reason.
Show what you have built before
Companies you founded or co-founded, with your role and what became of them. An exit with evidence gets a badge once our team has checked it.
A plan for your searches, free during the beta
During the beta, the first searches are free: plans come from vouchers and from programme partners. Later, three plans will apply: Starter, Standard and Pro. We will publish their details later. Joining as co-founder is free.
Questions from founders
What does a co-founder search cost?
We are in the beta phase, and the first searches are free. Later on, three plans will apply: Starter, Standard and Pro. We will publish their details later.
Who sees my venture and my company name?
The public sees the teaser: title, place, stage, the role you seek and the size of your team. Members see problem, solution, traction, your company and your team. Your full name and links follow in an intro. Put into the teaser only what you want to make public and are allowed to share.
Is my idea safe here?
Only members see the details of your search, and we screen profiles in the background. Write what helps the right person decide, and keep trade secrets for the first conversation.
How fast is my search checked?
Usually within 48 hours. If something is missing or unclear, we tell you what to change, and the search goes live once it is fixed.
How many people can I invite?
Up to 10 open invites per search at a time. A slot frees when someone answers, when you withdraw, or when an invite expires after 14 days. People who want to join can also ask you for an intro.
What happens when I found my co-founder?
Mark your search as filled. We ask whether you found them through Cofoundista, and open intros for the search end with a neutral notice. A filled search no longer counts towards your plan.
My incubator or university is a programme partner. What changes?
Your programme can sponsor your account plan. Use its link or enter its code, and the programme confirms you. The programme sees your name and email for the sponsorship, never your intros.
Who is missing in your team?
Start with your profile. The search follows, and our team checks it before it goes live.
