Launch your startup in 5 steps
From building your profile to meeting your next co-founder, we streamline the entire process of finding the right team.
Build your Profile
In ~5 minutes, answer a few questions and let our AI turn it into a polished public profile that highlights your skills, experience, and what you're looking for.
Create the Company
Tell us about your idea/project and we'll generate a clean Company Page for you (problem, solution, links, media, context). You can edit anything anytime — and we use this info to match the right people to your project.
Setup Your Campaign
Define who you need (skills, experience level, location, availability, working style). We'll build a highly targeted shortlist, then automatically reach out to the best matches and introduce your project to them.
Pick the Best Applicants
Once your campaign is live, qualified candidates apply. Review profiles, compare applicants, pick the best — and book meetings in one click.
Meet your Candidates
Take meetings with the top applicants to talk through the project, ask questions, and see how you click. These conversations help you build a real connection and smoothly onboard the right person to your team.
