On Deck

@richardpoelderl Appreciate the support, Richard! As part of the signup process, we ask cofounders if they have a preference for cofounders in the same area as them, whether they're agnostic (#remotefirst) or if they don't care. The more wide open someone's preferences, the more likely they are to receive more matches. The matches and suggestions we make are in accordance with the constraints users give us - it's really a design-your-own experience!

@richardpoelderl I'm curious how many people will be open to remote vs looking in their specific geo. 🤔

@chance_taken there’s also remote scoped to geos. Basically remote work but enable quarterly meetups from the get go. Eg for me this would be EU +-2h flight time. Basically the former Roman Empire if you will. I guess they knew what they were doing. 😅

@rishi_tripathy thanks! Although agnostic & don’t care sound like the same thing. I assume agnostic = #remotefirst = no HQ I’m wondering if same area means I’m also able to find people outside (but close to) EU, if that’s my location

@becky_stephens Thank you Becky! Every company starts somewhere - we're hoping to help more people create that spark ✨🔌

@jacksonondeck @chance_taken and you should chat ;)

@jacksonondeck 😂 sounds like a feature request! Though more seriously, experiments with features like that are likely worth exploring. Or rather, looking at the best practices that have bubbled up from the larger matchmaking / discovery platforms (which dating apps are one of the best examples of) and thinking about if any make sense for a cofounder context. It's wild how many times I've heard people cofounder searching compare it to actual dating or marriage.
