Ask HN: founder dating website

9 points·liquimoon··9 comments

Anyone knows of a website that connects people with ideas and necessary experiences (dev, design, marketing) to start companies together? Sort of like a founder dating website.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I made a post here before I saw this.

I personally feel that this would be perfect, since it would allow some very talented people come together to build something great.

BTW, if any of you are about to start a startup and need a good designer to design your website or app interface for equity, let me know, I'd be happy to help you guys out.

hey i'm about to do this, would be happy to chat about it sometime

What you need is HireLite: http://hirelite.com/ It's speed dating for hiring

This exists, name and all! Though it's more of a real-life networking event than a website right now, it's still great and they pull some amazing entrepreneurs. I know, I've been to some of the events. Check out founderdating.com and sign up for an event near you.

I've heard mixed reviews but skewed on the more positive side, so definitely worth checking out.

I'm actually looking for the same thing :) It's such a great idea for a startup btw - at the moment we have "job search" like co-founder directories/searches.

What we need is "dating site" like services. Co-founder is like a husband/wife isn't he?

That's a great point. The relationship matters, and there is compatibility issues involved.

Lots of those around.

A better question would be "How do potential cofounders date?" ie, how do you do small things to try to figure out if you're going to be good working together?

Solve that one and you're on to something big.

Partnership site, not a dating site. ;)
