A matching platform that screens applicants for seriousness through commitment signals (active projects, time investment, skin-in-the-game deposits) and uses skill/goal-based matching to pair founders with compatible partners. The platform facilitates structured trial collaborations with milestone check-ins, so both parties can evaluate fit before fully committing.

The rise of solo founders building with AI tools has lowered the barrier to starting projects, creating a larger pool of builders actively seeking partners for the pieces they can't do alone. Remote-first work culture has also made geographic proximity irrelevant, expanding the potential match pool but making trust and vetting harder than ever.
