Frequently asked questions

Is finding a cofounder the same as hiring a developer?

No. A cofounder relationship involves shared responsibility and long-term expectations. Discuss ownership, availability, decision-making, and risk before treating a skills match as a partnership.

Can I explore before I have a finished product?

Yes. Cofounder discovery is useful while shaping an idea or working on an existing startup. Make your current stage and commitment clear in your profile.

What can I do after meeting someone?

Discuss the work through messaging, explore a trial partnership, and organize shared work in collaboration. The decision to form a company remains yours.
