Overview

Find a co-founder to launch or grow your business.

Choosing your co-founder(s) is arguably the most important business decision you'll make. Traditionally, entrepreneurs turn to friends and family when searching for business partners, but this search is often too limited in scope. Our free, online matchmaking service gives you access to the largest group of entrepreneurs ever assembled looking to join a startup or be joined on their venture, allowing you to cast a much wider net in your search for talent.

Strong team = strong foundation = better chance of success

Our team-building platform ensures you and your co-founder will:

- possess complementary skills
- have compatible personalities, goals, and values
- utilize proprietary tools to ensure your partnership lasts

Post a free profile today, search for and get discovered by other entrepreneurs, and find your perfect match.

Yes It Really Works

Simply put, this is why we do what we do. We measure ourselves by the number of successful companies that are born through our efforts of building a founding team. This is why we come to work each day and it is the ultimate measure of our success. We are extremely proud of the founding teams who met through CoFoundersLab. Some have graduated from well-respected accelerators while others are already hiring their first employees. If you found your co-founder though CoFoundersLab, please contact us and we'll do everything we can do get you some PR coverage.

We can't think of a better way to get involved with your local entrepreneur community.

Our Headquarters

We're growing and always on the lookout for talented individuals. We don't advertise openings; instead we seek to attract people who believe deeply in our mission. How you'll contribute is secondary; we'll find a way to play to your biggest strengths. Drop us a line and tell us how you'd like to help CoFoundersLab.
