You'll recognize this if…
You've built systems at scale but never built a company. You have the technical chops — what you need is someone who speaks customers, fundraising, and go-to-market.
Signals
You've run teams, closed deals, or scaled operations. You see market gaps everywhere but need a technical co-founder to turn vision into product.
Signals
Years in healthcare, fintech, logistics, or another vertical gave you insights outsiders can't Google. You know exactly what's broken — you need a builder.
Signals
You've done this before — maybe exited, maybe failed, definitely learned. This time you want to start with the right co-founder instead of settling.
Signals
No startup on your resume yet, but the ambition is real. You're learning fast, building in public, and looking for someone equally hungry to take the leap.
Signals
Optimized for job seekers, not co-founders.
EVENTS
One evening, one city, surface-level conversations.

Great for takes. Terrible for finding who's actually building.
ACCELERATORS
Require a team to apply. Chicken-and-egg problem.
