Co-Founder Wanted
About the event
Co-Founder Wanted
A pitch night for ideas worth building.
After a strong first event with a ton of amazing pitches, we’re bringing the format back and opening it up beyond just technical co-founders.
Co-Founder Wanted is a live pitch and networking event for founders, operators, engineers, AI builders, product people, investors, and anyone looking to build or join something early.
Have an idea worth building? Come pitch it. Looking for a co-founder, technical partner, product person, operator, investor connection, or someone who can help move the idea forward? This is the room for that.
People who want to pitch will be asked to submit a short note ahead of time. It can be simple: a few sentences, a website, a deck, a demo, a prototype, or even just a link that helps us understand what you’re building and who you’re looking for.
This is not a Shark Tank-style investor pitch. It is a room for serious ideas, real feedback, useful connections, and potential co-founder matches.
What to expect
- Live idea pitches
- Founder and co-founder matching
- Technical, product, business, and investor feedback
- Conversations with people who can help build, launch, fund, or scale
- Networking with founders, operators, engineers, AI builders, and investors
Who should attend
Founders, non-technical founders, engineers, developers, AI builders, product managers, designers, operators, startup advisors, investors, and anyone looking to build or join an early-stage project.
Want to pitch?
Submit a short description, link, deck, demo, or prototype when you RSVP. Selected participants will get a chance to pitch live.
