Hey everyone, I just launched https://FoundersMatch.ai , a tool built to solve one of the most frustrating startup problems: finding a truly compatible co-founder. Instead of matching on just interests or skills, we use: * AI-powered compatibility analysis * Behavioral science frameworks * Startup psychology and proven founder-matching models Why it matters: 65% of startups fail due to co-founder conflict. And it usually takes months to even find someone potentially compatible. Founders Match helps you: * Avoid mismatches early * Get detailed insights before a call * Match based on…

As a founder, finding early customers is always a challenge. I'd come up with specific guesses for people to talk to - such "VCs that used to be startup founders" or "Former lawyers who are now CTOs." Running those types of searches typically involves opening dozens of LinkedIn profiles in tabs, and looking at them one-by-one. And, it turns out that going through LinkedIn profiles one-by-one is a daily job for many people. I started building Find AI to make it easier to search for people. I initially started just having GPT review people's LinkedIn profiles and websites, but it cost…

I’ve been building Cofounder Hunt after seeing the same problem over and over: co-founder matching platforms rely on profiles, personality tests, or long bios, but not on the one thing that actually matters — what someone has built. Most co-founder attempts fall apart because expectations aren’t aligned early. People move at different speeds, have different definitions of “MVP,” or talk a bigger game than they execute. Traditional platforms don’t solve this. Cofounder Hunt takes a different approach. Instead of starting with chatter, you start with evidence: ideas with structure, prototypes,…

Hi Guys, I got overwhelming support and feedback from my last post about secondfounder.com but still, I felt the need of connecting founders together so that they can together buy a side project. It's very often when a non-technical founder buys a project they have to find a technical founder to take that project further. Today I have implemented this feature in secondfounder.com Link: https://secondfounder.com/find-founder Your feedback is always welcome. Thanks

We’ve been working on a playground that showcases what our cofounder-matching mobile app can do (https://coffeespace.com). It’s designed as a swipe gallery (similar to Hinge), but instead of matching romantically, you’re swiping through profiles of potential cofounders. The profiles are simulated and representative of the real users you'll find on our app. You can even try setting filters to refine your matches. Why we built it: Our mission is simple: to create more high-quality cofounder team-ups in the world. In the startup space, finding the right cofounder can be challenging,…
