The best co-founder you'll ever have isn't browsing profiles right now.

They're building. Same as you.

One AI-matched introduction per day. Both pay $10 to connect. If they don't respond, you get your full $10 back plus $5 in credit.

Free to join. You only pay when you want to connect.

Every co-founder platform has the same problem.

They give you a list. Hundreds of profiles. You scroll, you filter, you message ten people. Three reply. One shows up. Nobody commits.

More options don't lead to better decisions. They lead to no decisions.

The research is clear: when people have fewer, higher-quality choices, they choose better and commit harder. That's the principle this is built on.

Three steps. No noise.

The entire system is designed to remove the things that waste your time.

1

Build your profile

Skills, ambitions, work style, risk tolerance. Not a resume. The stuff that actually matters when you're building something together.

2

Get one match per day

AI analyzes compatibility across what matters. You don't get a list. You get a person, with a score and a reason why.

3

Pay $10 to connect

Both of you pay. That's the whole point. When there's skin in the game, people actually show up.

The anti-ghost guarantee

If your match doesn't message within 24 hours, you get your full $10 back via Stripe, plus $5 in credit toward your next connection. Automatically.

No forms. No support tickets. The money moves on its own.

Why this works

Scarcity forces attention.

One match per day. Not ten. Not a hundred. When you can only say yes to one person, you actually read their profile. You think about it. That's the point.

Money filters for seriousness.

$10 is not a lot. But it's enough to filter out people who aren't serious. Both sides pay. Both sides show up. The cost isn't the point — the commitment is.

AI that understands compatibility.

Not keyword matching. Real analysis of skills, vision, work style, and risk appetite. The algorithm explains why it matched you, so you can make an informed decision.

Your profile stays private.

No public directory. No browsing. Your profile is only shown to the one person matched with you that day. Nobody else sees it.

The pattern is always the same: the best co-founder matches come from high-signal, low-noise environments. Not marketplaces. Not networking events. This is an attempt to build that environment.

Stop searching. Start building.

Your co-founder won't find you in a crowd. One match at a time. That's it.
