What frustrates me most about this website is that its very USA centric. Hence why in most EU regions there is no regular events. They don't spend time on investing in those areas. They also consider London to be the only thing on this planet that is European and British, which really gets on my nerves.
@jamie_ross I hear you and got every word you stated. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your frustration. I was actually born and raised in Spain so expect to have more regular events in EU regions in the near future. This is my promise to you :) In any case, feel free to take advantage of the online experience as events are complementary to that.

@acremades I live in the NE of England with one of the cheapest startup areas in the EU, supported by EU-backed grants etc yet you don't have this information for co-founders. Also, I saw a website on PH that could tell you how much the running costs would be in different cities around the world. The Problem for me is that in Newcastle,UK it's all founders on your site. It would be great if you could tap into those professionals who want to learn more to up their game or and then offer co-foundership. Or alternatively the UK market is saturated with unemployed grads with no experience, it would be great if you could have mentors for them. Once halfway through mentoring they could help a founder out. The only exception this applies to is programming, where an aptitude takes at least 12 months to attain commercially. The website in its current form is only half finished. There is a lot of un-added value that would make your website worth paying for. F6S is a great resource for all startup info etc, start there. Also if you may have noticed Amazon have a kindle reader program, in which if someone rented a book that Author got paid out of Amazons $10 million annual funds. Now apply the same principle to co-founders like Authors and voila you have an idea unlike any other. Just use collective buying power to get people to come on board and work for companies but funded via your websites membership. It's so much more rewarding.
@jamie_ross this is really interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share this. We actually have a program with mentors/advisors on the site. We have currently over 4,000 advisors on the platform from all over the world registered. But I agree that there is a lot we need to do to continue bringing education to founders. I find very interesting your suggestion regarding Amazon. I will look into it with my team.
Looks good. Only thing I would recommend is try making the design more consistent across the pages. Some things look out of place. I actually designed something similar to the same concept as CoFoundersLab, http://masondahl.com/work/founde...
