The Problem
Founding Teams Form by Accident
Finland produces world-class builders, but founding teams still form through random encounters. The best teams never get built.
LinkedIn has zero co-founder matching. Networking events create shallow contacts that rarely convert.
WhatsApp groups and Slack channels are unfiltered noise. No way to verify who has actually built something.
A developer in Oulu and a business lead at Aalto will never meet through existing channels. Geography kills team formation.
The Solution
Say What You Need. Meet Who Can Build It.
Every founder and cofounder gets a public profile. Say what you're looking for in plain English or Finnish, browse the directory yourself, and send an interest to start a real conversation.
Two steps to a public profile: pick your role, set your name. You're listed in the directory immediately, no gatekeeping.
Browse by role, seniority, city, and skills. Every card shows real background, not a computed score.
Send an interest with a short message. When both sides accept, a real conversation starts.
