The cofounder
you actually
need.

Most matching sites ask you to fill out a form. We read your github, linkedin, and the things you’ve actually built. Then we find the cofounder who fills the gaps your startup is missing. Not the one who happened to answer your post.

The diagnosis

Cofounder
matching is broken.

Every other platform is a form. You write a paragraph about yourself. They write a paragraph about themselves. A keyword search decides whether you should build a company together.

That’s why founders end up with the cofounder who answered their post. Not the one their startup actually needed. The signal isn’t in what people claim. It’s in what they’ve shipped, written, and built.

Our take

Read the work. Find the gap. Fill it with someone who’s actually done it.

Frequently Asked Questions

We pull real signals from your LinkedIn, GitHub, startup website, and public work, then use AI to build a deep capability model. Instead of matching on keywords or self-reported skills, our engine scores complementarity: a business founder sees technical cofounders who fill their gaps, and a developer sees founders who need their engineering. We even surface gaps neither side has articulated.

Yes, completely free. Create a profile, browse potential cofounders, and start conversations at no cost. We are focused on helping you find the right cofounder for your startup.

LinkedIn is a generalist network where you post 'looking for cofounder' and hope someone sees it. Cofounder forums are self-reported profiles with no verification. TrustedCofounder pulls real work evidence, matches on complementary capability gaps (not keyword similarity), and requires mutual interest before any conversation starts. No cold outreach, no spam, no guesswork.

Sign up as a Founder and connect your LinkedIn or startup website. Our AI analyzes your background and what you are building, then surfaces the capability gaps your startup needs filled. You get a ranked shortlist of cofounders whose verified strengths fill exactly those gaps.
