For start-up programmes

Your founders find their co-founders in one pool across all programmes, and beyond. You sponsor their searches with a code and see what comes of it.

  • Incubators
  • Accelerators
  • University spin-off programmes
  • VCs and angel networks
Step 1 · Your founders

Your founders enter your programme code

In the app or through your code link. Cofoundista recognises your programme and sends the request to your portal.

  • One code per cohort or event, with a label, a number of uses and a time window
  • A link with the code filled in, for your welcome email or newsletter
  • Sponsored for a set number of months, or as long as your licence runs
The app on a phone: a founder types the programme code ALPINE26.
Step 2 · Your team

You confirm, their searches go live

In the partner portal you see who asked, with which code and when. One click confirms the sponsorship, and the founder can publish their searches.

  • The portal shows how many sponsorships of your licence are left
  • Decline, and the founder can still use Cofoundista with a plan of their own
  • End a sponsorship at any time, for example when a founder leaves the programme
The partner portal on a laptop: two open requests, and the question before a sponsorship is confirmed.

What your programme gets

  • Sponsored subscriptions

    With a licence, you sponsor the subscription of your founders. They send your programme's code, and you confirm in the partner portal.

  • Discount codes

    Give your community and network a discount on Cofoundista subscriptions, also without a licence.

  • The whole pool

    Your people meet founders and co-founders from all programmes, not only from their own batch.

  • Results without personal data

    In the portal you see how many people from your programme sign up, publish searches and find a match.
