Co-founders
A co-founder is close to a marriage. Match like it.
A builder and a software developer. An engineer with an idea and an operator who can run it. Co-founder matching uses a longer questionnaire on commitment, direction, money, how you'd run the business and how you handle a bad month.

How co-founder matching works
Idea or no idea
I have an idea and need a partner, I want to join someone's idea, or either. Side project first or full-time from the start.
Complementary, not identical
Some answers should match (the end goal, commitment, money). Others should complement (who handles sales, who handles the books). Each question is scored its own way.
One at a time
Like hiring, co-founder matches are exclusive: one open match while you decide.
Side by side, then again
Planned meetups with questions that go a little deeper each time. The app keeps offering the next one.
"We're partners"
When you both tap it, co-founder matching pauses for both of you and a founder-agreement checklist opens. No legal advice, just the topics.
Check-ins that teach the matcher
Private check-ins at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. What predicts lasting partnerships shapes future matches.
Questions
Can I look for a co-founder and a job at the same time?
Yes, but co-founder and hiring matches come one at a time between them. If you want both, you can mark one as your priority.
Is anything off-limits in the questions?
Faith, politics, age, gender, kids and relationships are never asked or used. Money is asked only indirectly, through scenarios. Never income or net worth.
Does the app give legal advice?
No. The founder-agreement checklist lists topics to settle with a lawyer: equity split, vesting, roles, decision rights and how to exit.
