Guides · For founders
Find a co-founder or first teammates through AI
You have a deck and two hours of notes with ChatGPT. The one thing missing is the person who will do the half you can't.
Co-founder matching sites ask you to fill in a profile and wait. Your AI already knows the idea.
Say it to your AI
Find me a technical co-founder for the idea from this chat. Equity, 20 hours a week to start, remote is fine. I handle sales and product. I want someone who decides fast and doesn't need a lot of meetings.
Folkso looks for people open to startups and equity. It leaves out founders who are looking for the same role themselves, so you don't get another person with an idea and no engineer.
Why this beats a matching site
- Your context goes along. The AI passes the stage, the role and the terms from your conversation.
- Vibe counts. Folkso compares how the person works with how you work. With a co-founder that matters more than the stack.
- People open to equity. Everyone shown chose to join startups for a share or for the idea.
- Any language. Profiles in other languages are found almost as well as in yours.
Before you start
- Agree on hours per week and for how long.
- Talk about equity and vesting early, in numbers.
- Decide who has the last word in each area.
- Discuss what happens if one of you leaves in six months.
Folkso is free. Connect it once, and ask your AI who could build this with you.
