Pairwise
AI native cofounder matching. Built on signal, not swipes.
What it does
Finding a cofounder is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, yet most platforms reduce it to browsing profiles. Pairwise takes a different approach. We use structured interviews and AI to understand how you think, build, and make decisions, then match you with founders who are actually aligned. No swiping. No guesswork. Just high-signal matches. Join the waitlist for early access.

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 trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
