Guys, what stage startups can participate in this? how does selection work?

@tomaspaulo We are stage agnostic and have pool members from seed to unicorn status. However to date we have screened for funded companies to ensure there is a valuation. Selection is based on other founder rankings.

@tomaspaulo When we started out, we assumed only pre-seed/seed companies would apply. Turns out we've had applications from companies as far along as SERIES D. A few applicants have raised 9-figures.

Bringing the Kindred ventures model to a far larger scale. Awsome.

Congrats on launching a new type of launchpad for founders! Diversification and derisking are important parts of investing + entrepreneurship, I’m glad FounderPool creates this superset PLUS the potential social outlet for those who lack it from being overworked. Some pondering questions: - What are the plans for scaling when there are hundreds of applicants? - How would founders be matched? - Who will lead the cohort pools and how are the numbers/terms determined for each cohort? - Is there a governance structure for each cohort?

@rightlung Thank you Victor. - We are creating a self serve platform, that makes it super fast and easy to form self selecting founders to join pools on their own. - Matching is based on preferences, stage and other factors, but each founder makes the decision to partner or not with companies. - Terms are standardized and we take care of pool formation when a minimum threshold is reached - Currently we manage each pool (fund), to take away burden from busy founders

@mrdignitty Well said! We build communities for the rest of the world but there isn't a great community for founders. We hope to fix that.
