Hey gang, Charlie here from Ramen Club. As we all know, finding a co-founder is one of the hardest tasks early stage founders have when starting their business. When it comes to starting a SaaS, technical and commercial founders (marketers, sales) make a great combination - but it’s often hard to find each other. Our free tool allows founders to meet a co-founder looking to build your SaaS (or other internet business). You can input what type of co-founder you are looking for (commercial / technical / generalist) and align on the important questions before meeting, like what idea you are working on, contribution expectations and more. Once you submit a form, we automatically send tweets from 2 accounts with over 3,500 followers, and slacks to a community of over 1,250 potential co-founders, enabling you to get in front of thousands of founders in total. Go find your co-founder today! And let us know what you know in the comments. Built with 🍜 by the Ramen Club community. A Studio Ramen production.

@charlierward Congratulations! Really interesting in this! Can it be filtered by country?
Charlie Ward
@hayr_hotoca Not yet, but it's next in the backlog.
Vera Rose
🍜 Congratulations on launching! It's about time someone made finding a cofounder as easy as slurping up some delicious noodles. That could bring so many dream teams together! πŸŽ‰ How do you plan on maintaining the quality of connections as your user base grows?
Charlie Ward
@vera_mur Right now our audience is very niche and high quality, so it isn't an issue yet. But as things grow we'll likely add some kind of application form to post there or see contact details.
Charlie Ward
@vera_mur And thank you!
Dzianis Yatsenka
Hi! Looks interesting! Do you check somehow the experience of potential cofounders? I think it’s the most important thing.
Charlie Ward
@dzianis_yatsenka Hey Dzianis, for now it's pretty open, as our network/audience tends to be pretty strong anyway. We don't currently ask this as it's not always as helpful as it looks. I know inexperienced people who are absolute killers. But perhaps someday we can add some kind of filter if it becomes an issue.
Sanjay Somashekar
This is interesting, hope this reaches masses and finding a co-founder with the right skill set becomes easier for all.
Charlie Ward
@sanjay_somashekar Certainly hope so! Thanks Sanjay.
Harold
Congrats @charlierward great community product! I have two co-founders, for two different products, and it's great to have someone to share your thoughts and ideas and have each others support working on it
Charlie Ward
@hdkstr 100%, love having a collaborator.
Leonid Mikhalev
Well, I think you need to add this database to the YC cofounder matching platform. Cuz they have big traffic and brand, and you have a base of talented folks. Think about it! Maybe they'll go toward you, they have the whole team who grows community inside and outside YC. Good luck with the launch.
Charlie Ward
@leonid_mikhalev Thanks Leonid - I'll certainly think about it!
Lotanna Ezeike
Great stuff, been an admirer for a while. Look forward to whatever comes next as I know this is just step 1!
Charlie Ward
@lotts Thanks Lotanna - much appreciated. And much further to go!
Paul Hart
Pls provide IRL relief at startup events globally where idea factories skulk around look for tech co-founders with their zany ideas. πŸ€ͺπŸ‘
Charlie Ward
@snakecharmer I'm down with this...
Leo J Barnett
Great stuff guys! Really feel there's never been a true leader in this space. Shapr app closing down... Founders nation feels very out of date... Co-founders lab....no idea what happened there...their forum space was also amazing but they got rid. Big opportunity. Best of luck!
Marc Thomas
Really impressed with what @charlieward has built at Ramen Club. Community is genuinely vibrant. That's not something that you can say about a lot of communities. Pumped to see him turn his attention to solving the problem of finding a cofounder which is – as you know – one of the toughest things about starting a startup
Charlie Ward
@charlieward @iammarcthomas Thank you good sir! I appreciate you.
Jack Bridger
I went for a coffee in the park on Friday with someone I met via the tool and they were awesome. Also had two other Zooms with some really nice people. Much higher density of cool people than I've found elsewhere. Keep up the great work Charlie & Ellen.
Charlie Ward
@jack_bridger Love this so much Jack.
Quinn Zeda
Very timely as I'm looking for a technical cofounder to help us with our new build. FYI: The form field that asks the stage doesn't fully show all the text so you can't tell the difference between the last 2 options.
Jason Knight
Got to love what Ramen Club is doing to advance indie hackers and early founders. Finding the right partner is an amazing accelerant to startup success!
Charlie Ward
@jasontheknight Cheers Jason - hugely appreciated.
Igor Pavlov
Whoa, this is something new, never seen a platform like this! Is this for tech only or any industry?
Charlie Ward
@igorpavlov Thanks Igor! Very kind words. Mainly for tech/indie hackers right now. But you never know.
Lucas Smith
Congrats on the launch! Finding a co-founder is certainly one of the hardest parts of starting a new business especially finding one that complements your skills and is just as driven. This looks like an awesome tool for those starting their founder journey to meet and connect with likeminded individuals and perhaps even join up and start a business together.
Might be using this in the future! Congrats on the Launch πŸš€
Charlie Ward
@maxwellcdavis Thank you Maxwell, hopefully you get some use out of it!
Pablo Peter
Great idea! Looking forward to see where does this go. Maybe also to find mentors. I feel sometimes founders think they want a cofounder but actually they need someone who supports them and guides them.
Charlie Ward
@pablo_peter Thanks Pablo, nice idea!
Max T.Pham
Congrats on launching Find Cofounders, Charlie! It's awesome to see a platform connecting founders with complementary skills. Please check your site, it seems down, so cannot give you an upvote. Wait to try it out and share my experience. Good luck!
Charlie Ward
@maxtpham Thanks Max. I'll check this out...
Filip Stanev
