Foundly›From looking to meeting
Less searching.
More building.
You bring your experience. We help you find the person to build with.
A conversation. In your own words.
Tell us about yourself over text, one question at a time. Review your profile before the team uses it to look for a potential cofounder.
An introduction you both want.
Share whether you prefer to meet in person or remotely. When there’s mutual interest, our team coordinates the introduction and meeting.
A search you don’t have to do alone
Other founders
are looking, too.
Your next partner has their own strengths, ideas, and missing piece. Tell us yours so our team can look for the overlap.

Do I need an idea or an existing startup?
No. You can be exploring what to build. Tell us about your background, interests, and what you want in a cofounder. If you already have an idea, share that too.
How much does it cost?
It’s free to start. There’s a $5 fee to meet your match. If things don’t work out or you can’t meet, you’ll get a full refund, guaranteed. No questions asked.
Who actually makes the matches?
The Foundly team reviews profiles and handles matching and introductions.
How long will it take to find someone?
90% of users receive a match within a week. Text us if you’d like an update on your search.
Can I meet someone remotely?
Yes. Tell us whether you prefer to meet remotely, in person, or either. Your location and meeting preference are part of your profile.
Where do we meet?
We carefully select a safe public location halfway between you. You’re both free to skip our pick and agree on any place you prefer, or meet remotely instead.
What happens if I’m not interested in a match?
Tell the Foundly team. You don’t have to move forward with every proposed introduction. Be clear about what doesn’t fit so the team understands your preferences.
Who can see my information?
Our team may review your conversation to provide the service. We ask your permission before sharing your profile or contact details with a potential cofounder. Read our Privacy Policy for details, including how to request deletion.

The hard part should be
what you build.
You can have the skills, the ambition, and the time to start. And still be missing someone to work through the hard decisions with.
Finding that person can become a project of its own. Explaining yourself again. Asking around. Wondering whether you’re looking in the right places.
That’s the problem we’re working on at Foundly. You tell us what you bring and what you need. We take on the search and help you get to a conversation with a potential partner.
Our goal is simple: help you spend less time looking for someone to build with, and more time discovering what you could build together.
