The Problem
Non-technical and first-time founders struggle to find trustworthy co-founders with the right skills and long-term commitment. Existing options — LinkedIn, Reddit, cold outreach — are either too noisy, too informal, or attract people who disappear after early conversations. There is no structured, signal-rich way to evaluate a potential co-founder before entering what is effectively a business marriage.

Which companies produce the strongest founder networks?
Most people research founder networks manually. LinkedIn tabs. Crunchbase searches. Random Google digging. And even after all that, you still miss context: * who actually worked together * who overlapped during the same period * which founders came from the same teams * and which alumni networks consistently produce strong startups We kept asking ourselves: What if founder ecosystems were mapped visually instead of manually researched? So we built Alumni Founder. You enter any company or university and instantly see: * funding raised * overlap timelines * every founder that spun out * connection strength between people * cross-company founder comparisons People are already using it for: * VC deal sourcing * warm intros * founder discovery * co-founder search * talent ecosystem research We launched today and would genuinely love feedback. What company alumni network would you explore first? 🚀 Please show your support on PH → [https://www.producthunt.com/posts/alumni-founder](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/alumni-founder)
creating an alternative of YC co-founder match
I have seen many peoples on the internet struggling to find a co-founder, I also faced this problem while searching for a co-founder, many people suggested me to use YC co-founder match but its sucks, getting a trustable co-founder there, I think is on your luck, there is no extra feature to filter many things, That's why I decided to create a better website for co-founder match with bunch of good features and filters, so finding a co-founder will no longer be asking random peoples, anyone can use my website for finding a co-founder, I hope, I will make this lengthy process as easy as purchasing products online, I hope you get it, I am 16-year-old, I will start building it once I get positive reviews about this idea, and also let me know, should I keep this service premium or freemium.
How do you find a cofounder?
Tried a bunch of sites, usually long questionnaires and when you meet people they already have something going on and don't want to work on your idea. Wondering how you guys are finding cofounders or are you just working solo?
