findyourcofounder is a public list of people in the Netherlands who are open to meeting a co-founder — 273 of them right now. Every one of them answered the same three questions: what motivates them, the partner they are looking for, and the business they would build. That is the whole product.
There is no matching algorithm, no swiping, no queue, no gatekeeper deciding who gets to see whom. You read the answers, you decide who is worth a coffee, and you write to them. The judgement is the interesting part, and handing it to a scoring function makes it worse rather than better.
Why it exists
Finding a co-founder is mostly a visibility problem. The people who would be right for you are usually already busy building something rather than posting about it, and there is no obvious place to stand and say “I am open to this” without it sounding like a pitch.
A country this size is small enough that one list can plausibly cover it, which is why the index starts here. Being on it is a signal, not a commitment — it says you would take the coffee, nothing more.
What it deliberately does not do
- —Rank or score founders. The order on the index is recency, not merit.
- —Vet or endorse anyone. A profile is a claim its author makes — do your own diligence.
- —Publish email addresses. Messages go through the site, so your address stays yours until you reply.
- —Charge for anything. No paid tier, no boosted placement, no premium anything.
- —Sell or share the list. It is not a lead database and we do not treat it as one.
Who runs it
The site is built and run by Konstrukt Studio in Amsterdam. It is a side project rather than a business: nobody is paid out of it and there is nothing to monetise, which is the main reason it can stay free and stay small.
Questions, corrections, or a profile that should not be there — sebastien@selego.co. The FAQ covers most of it; the legal notice and privacy page have the formal version.
