About
Helping serious builders find the right people to form real companies.
Cofounder NYC exists to help New York City founders, software engineers, technical builders, operators, and startup partners meet people who can help build real companies.
The mission is to connect people who can contribute meaningful value from day one: engineering, product, sales, operations, domain expertise, distribution, customers, funding, or the execution required to move from idea to launch.
Purpose
Whether someone is looking for a technical cofounder, an early startup partner, feedback on an idea, or people who can help build an MVP, Cofounder NYC is designed to make the right conversations easier to start.
What this is not
This is not an "I have an idea, build it for equity" network. Everyone should be able to clearly explain what they contribute. "You build it, I market it" is not enough.
Founders should bring
- Execution ability and measurable skills.
- Customers, industry expertise, or distribution.
- Funding, budget, traction, or a credible path to build.
Engineers should bring
- Strong technical skills.
- Product-building ability.
- Interest in building companies, not just freelancing.
