Ask HN: Finding Startup Co-Founders

Posted by avianion on Tuesday May 31, 2022 @01:59PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Co-founders are the make or break of any startup company.

So how do you find them?

Online services like Angel List? Local meetups? Persuade your friends to co-found your company with you?

No disrespect intended at the users, but in my experience this is full of a bunch of just-out-of-uni wanna-be founders, and not actual founders with experience. I closed my account after spending a few months looking for a co-founder.

I saw you posted about https://writerly.ai/

How did you find co-founders for that?

This was from people we already hired - as in people who were employees of the company and wanted to build a new product. We're currently looking to maybe add another co-founder level person, and such looking to meet new people.
