A Tinder/Hinge-like platform to meet others exploring startup and business ideas and find your cofounder. Get your daily recommendations of the best people that will accelerate the launch of your startup idea!
Hello Product Hunt Community! 👋
After months of learning from our pilot program and weeks of building, I’m super excited to launch CoffeeSpace i.e. a “Tinder/Hinge-like platform to meet others exploring ideas and to find your cofounder” (https://coffeespace.com/) to the PH community and broader public today.
Some of our key features:
- Receive daily recommendations, swipe, and if both of you accept, you can start chatting!
- You can filter for specific things like prior experience selling/cofounding/working in a startup, timeline preferences, idea commitment level, and equity preferences
- Show off your personality via prompts that allow others to peek into your motivation to build, working style, etc.
We believe this is a crucial space to tackle because 60% of people have thought of a startup or business idea, but 92% don’t go forward with it. This is due to a few reasons, like: 1) Not having all the skill sets, 2) Not having enough time, 3) Not knowing how to get started. But most, if not all, of this is at least partially if not fully solved by finding the right cofounder or person to explore that idea with.
And I know this because I experienced it myself until I found my cofounder (Carin). So we know that two strangers passionate about the same problem space can build and create together. And that you’re 10X more likely to do something about your idea when you have a partner.
The app is free to use, and as a special promo for this Product Hunt launch, we’re giving everyone who signs up between today and 30th April 1-month of free access to our premium (Business Class) tier which unlocks additional features such as more granular filters, increased daily recommendations, priority invites, and more (worth $49.99)
We’ve passed 1,500 matches since our soft/beta launch a few weeks back and have learned tonnes from our earliest users – would love to hear your feedback too as we continue building and growing CoffeeSpace! :)
It's hard to be unbiased as one of the cofounders of the platform of course :D but we're now working with a potential 3rd cofounder whom we knew from before but learned that he was looking for a new gig because he joined our platform. So I think that's pretty cool to share :)
App is functional. Tens of people reached out, but there seems to be a lack of adoption! Its greatest feature is the community of beta-testers / early adopters, which is indicative of people who are looking to innovate!
Thanks for your feedback and kind words, Aris! :) We are definitely trying to improve on that any way we can in our latest iterations which (hint hint) you may expect another launch coming soon!
Got some very good recommendations on the app quite quickly. Love how it takes the pain out of sifting through a bunch of LinkedIn or YC cofounder match profiles out of the cofounder search workflow!
