Find a cofounder you can actually build with

The best cofounder searches read like job specs, not wishes. Movo asks what kind of cofounder you need — technical, business, growth, design or domain expert — the must-have skills, and whether it's full-time from day one. Then it matches you with operators, founders and experts who have said they're open to cofounding.

How it works, start to finish

  1. Publish one Goal. Answer a handful of structured questions — two minutes, no essay.

  2. Movo makes it specific. Your answers become one concrete sentence. That sentence is what matching runs on.

  3. Matches, a few at a time. People whose declared intent fits — with the reason for the match shown to both sides.

  4. Both say yes. A chat opens only when both sides tap Interested. Nobody can cold-DM you.

  5. Outcomes, not ratings. Meeting happened, pilot started, round closed — recorded as facts on your profile.

Common questions

Who am I actually matched with?

Operators, current founders, future founders and domain experts who declared cofounding in what they're open to. You see why each person is relevant — skills, industry, commitment — before either side commits to a conversation.

Full-time only, or can we start part-time?

Your call — the Goal asks for it explicitly. Many strong cofounder matches start part-time while one side finishes a notice period; stating that honestly filters for people who can actually do it.

How do I judge a cofounder match?

Slowly. Use the first chat to test problem obsession and working style, then do a small real project together before any equity conversation. Movo gets you the right introductions; the diligence is yours.

I'm an engineer who wants to join a founder — does this work in reverse?

Yes. Set your own Goal (cofounding or a startup job) and founders searching for your skills will match with you. Both directions run on the same matching.
