CoffeeSpace – A simpler cofounder matching app
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,…

In plain words
CoffeeSpace is a mobile app that helps entrepreneurs find cofounders using a swipe-based matching interface similar to dating apps. Users browse profiles of potential cofounders, apply filters to narrow matches, and can view LinkedIn information to learn more about candidates. The app is designed for startup founders and aspiring entrepreneurs seeking compatible business partners. A playground on the website lets people test the matching experience with simulated profiles before joining the actual platform.
