01The reality

A startup rarely dies of a bad product. It dies of an incomplete team.

The first cause of failure for a young company isn't the market or the technology — it's the founding team. Yet it's the decision we make with the fewest tools.

Nearly 65% of high-potential startups fail because of tension between co-founders.”
Noam Wasserman, The Founder's Dilemmas, Harvard

“Tech or business” no longer cuts it

A co-founder can bring a regulated licence, capital, a network, IP or an asset. Generalist platforms reduce everything to two boxes and miss what matters.

Finding is easy. Trusting is rare

Hollow profiles, vague intentions, no verification. The real risk surfaces at the worst moment — when the shareholders' agreement is signed.

The legal framework comes too late

Without an NDA, shareholders' agreement, vesting or mediation, a promising partnership can turn into conflict. Structure should precede the handshake.

02The Asset Founder model

A co-founder is more than a résumé.

Cofoundies structures what a co-founder truly brings into 8 combinable categories — a grid that captures the reality of co-founding far better than the old tech / business divide.

04
The market key

Regulated licence

Architect, real-estate agent, broker, notary, regulated finance: the licence that unlocks regulated Proptech and Fintech markets. A rare contribution, closely verified.

Journey shown: Project owner

04Explainable AI matching

Matching you actually understand.

No black box. Every suggestion rests on three dimensions, and every score is explained — so you decide with confidence.

01

Professional contributions

What each side brings concretely — and what the team is missing. Complementarity over resemblance.

02

Human compatibility

Values, pace, view of risk and commitment. The number-one factor of success — or rupture.

03

Geo & sector context

Proximity, knowledge of the Proptech and Fintech markets, regulatory access. The ground matters.

Why this match
  • Architect's licence — the regulated contribution you're looking for.
  • Proptech experience in your market.
  • Full-time availability, aligned long-term vision.
05Trust & verification

Trust is not an option.

Co-founding means committing for years with someone. Everything in the platform is built so that commitment rests on something solid.

GDPR-compliantRegulatory-gradeEncrypted data

Strict KYC

LinkedIn, ID and selfie for everyone. A video interview for heavy contributions — regulated licence, capital, IP.

Hybrid AI + human validation

100% of profiles go through dual validation, algorithmic and human. No hollow profile gets through the door.

NDA from project access

A standard confidentiality agreement protects every project from the first contact between owner and candidate.

Shareholders' agreement & vesting

Ready-to-use legal templates — shareholders' agreement, vesting clause — to commit on solid foundations.

Built-in mediation

In case of disagreement, mediation through a partner law firm. Trust holds, even when things get tense.

06For whom

Two sides of the same ambition.

Cofoundies brings together those who launch and those who complete. Pick your side of the table.
