In more detail
Cofounder relationships that last usually start with a shared piece of work, not a coffee chat. The people you meet at Friday Demo Night have already shown you how they think, what they ship and how they handle feedback in public.
On Hacker House you can filter the builder directory by stage, skills, what someone is looking for and whether they are open to cofounding. That removes most of the guesswork before you ever send a message.
If you are early, open a role on a project instead of searching for a cofounder immediately. A four-week collaboration tells you more than any number of interviews.
How to do it
- 1Create a free profile and state your stage, skills and what you need.
- 2Post your project and open the specific role you are missing.
- 3Show up to two in-person sessions in the same fortnight so people recognise you.
- 4Run a short paid or unpaid trial project before discussing equity.
