Most co-founder attempts fall apart because expectations aren’t aligned early. People move at different speeds, have different definitions of “MVP,” or talk a bigger game than they execute. Traditional platforms don’t solve this.
Cofounder Hunt takes a different approach. Instead of starting with chatter, you start with evidence: ideas with structure, prototypes, GitHub links, early traction, small wins, shipping history. The goal is to make it clear how someone actually works before you commit to building together.
A few things it does:
Lets builders showcase concrete progress, not just intentions
Makes pace, ambition, and execution style visible from the start
Helps people filter for co-founders who match how they work
Reduces the guesswork that leads to misalignment and failed partnerships
It’s still early, and I’d really appreciate feedback from the HN community. If the idea resonates or you think something’s missing, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Happy to answer any questions.
