I built Startr because I lived the problem.
After graduating from UM in 2024 I spent months looking for a technical co-founder. LinkedIn gave me individuals who are looking for salaries. Reddit gave me scammers. CoFoundersLab gave me bots. YC matching took months. Every platform got me to the introduction — none of them told me if we were actually compatible.
The problem I was trying to solve: compatibility testing. A coffee chat is not a compatibility test. A great LinkedIn profile is not a compatibility test. But 48 hours solving a real business problem together under pressure, that is.
How my approach evolved: I started building a simple matching platform. Then I realized matching was the easy part. The hard part was trust. So I added proof of work requirements — builders show GitHub, operators show traction. Then I added the 48-hour compatibility challenge.
Then AI scoring. Each feature came directly from talking to founders who had been burned by the wrong co-founder.
The result: Startr. Invite only. Proof of work required. AI matched. 48-hour compatibility challenge. No bots. No ghosting. Just serious founders.
