Congrats on the launch! well YC definitely has a wide network, however, how is your platform different from CoFoundersLab https://cofounderslab.com/? do u have any extra features or solve any other problems?

I thought YC was against Founder Dating apps :)

@john_evans7 Great point you bring up! YC is not against the idea of meeting your co-founder online. YC is against jumping into a co-founder relationship with someone you just met. And this is still true! We believe a foundation of trust is important. With our platform, we provide the opportunity for folks to meet other likeminded people (who are ready to start a company) but we don't encourage skipping the hard work of building a strong relationship. We recommend founders work together on 4-6 week long trial projects with clear expectations and goals to vet compatibility before committing to any long-term relationship.

@john_evans7 @catheryn Seems like retrofitting the narrative to match the new launch honestly... Regardless, good on y'all for coming around.

Very cool @catheryn @kyle_corbitt, congratulations on launching. This is definitely the next logical addition to the YC startup success funnel.

I have been using this for the past week and I love it. I have met with a lot of interesting people that are passionate about learning from and connecting with others.

I’m surprised that YC does something like this because they seem to not recommend taking some random person as a co-founder and this sounds exactly doing it.

@elias_lankinen Bad ideas seem only bad until they decide to do it. Same with entrepreneurial education. Wish they'd just own it. "Hey, we changed our mind" instead of "Oh no, we always thought this was a good idea the way we're doing it right now." Seems disingenuous to me, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since they've done so much good for the founder community.

I had this idea like 2y ago. What a pity i couldn´t put on practice (which certaintly is vital) or patent it for lacking of skills, will or, more important, network. Just a spot in the ocean xdd In my humble opinion, it is a game changer. Very well done to the makers. Keep rocking! 🦄✨
