Hello product hunters! Alejandro Cremades here. I am one of the cofounders of the holding company, Onevest. Happy to answer any comments or questions. As a side note we announced yesterday the acquisition of FounderDating (read more about it here http://fortune.com/2016/07/28/fo... ). FounderDating and our very own CoFoundersLab will join forces to continue building one of the largest networks for entrepreneurs online. We are now 250,000+ entrepreneurs and counting :)

@bentossell we launched yesterday the new CoFoundersLab platform which we have been working on very hard for the past year. We have allocated a significant amount of resources to build the new CoFoundersLab from the ground up with our in house team of engineers. In addition to that, we launched the CoFoundersLab Learning Center to support entrepreneurs via education.

@bentossell we have a new personalized dashboard for registered users, improved matchmaking algorithms, new advanced search, a more intuitive messaging system, online courses with domain experts (e.g. marketing, fundraising, team building, etc), new structure and design of profiles where users can customize them as they wish, compatibility views with other candidates, we have improved how to join local in person events, and a lot of other good stuff :)

oh so it's US only as for now? any plans to consider Europe countries?
Alejandro Cremades
Maker
@denislukov this is not only for the US. We have presence all over the world. In fact we have ambassadors in Latin America, Europe, etc.
Denis Lukov
@acremades Fine, but "Your location"'s autocomplete field doesn't contains Ukrainian cities alike "Kyiv", "Odessa".

FYI, it is really easy to find people on LinkedIn from the profiles on CFL. Perhaps tweaking should be made to really incentivize people into becoming premium members?

@james_osullivan thank you so much for the feedback!

@acremades Just Incredible a little disappointed in this feeling as if it's a bit leaning more toward an engineering only run company and not a designed run startup environment in the way the user experience organises and presents applicants and so on. Not being bias being I'm a ui/ux architect but know how important design in every area is important and has touch-points that reach other sectors of a company, just didn't see that as prominently reflected in the design decisions on the application. but I know this is an iterative process..I just became a premium member 5 minutes ago, best money spent in a long time!

@nicholassheriff thank you so much! Means a lot to have you as a premium member and really appreciate your comments. Without a doubt, there will be iterations implemented as we continue to listen carefully to our customers. Let me know how the experience unfolds and if I can help at any point :)
Khalif
wow! This looks awesome! Any update on when the iOS app will be updated to match the new UI/UX on the web app? The iphone app seems outdated and very buggy :)

@khaliphj many thanks and very valid comment. As one of our next priorities we will be building from the ground up a new mobile app for iOS and Android. Stay tuned!
Levent Askan
Hi guys, love the idea. BTW, when I was searching, I see that you should check your learning center part. There are some problems in the social media links of Tanya Prive.

@leventask thank you so much! We are looking into this as we speak.

congrats on the launch. I think the near filter doesn't show any options for any previous filters and I'm in SF :)
