Wouter van Dijk
The place where founders and co-founders from Groningen, Drenthe, and Friesland meet.
Many startups fail because one founder has to do everything alone. With the Co-Founder Community, you can find a complementary co-founder – someone who shares your vision, complements your skills, and helps you build and grow together.
Why this community?
There are many people with strong ideas, but they lack someone to build them with. At the same time, there are plenty of people ready for a new entrepreneurial challenge. The Co-Founder Community brings those two worlds together. Here, you’ll meet founders looking for reinforcement and entrepreneurial people who want to help build from the very beginning. The Co-Founder Community connects founders and co-founders.
Through the Nascent Founder Assessment, we match people based on skills, personality, and vision. You choose your potential co-founder yourself and gain access to a network of mentors, investors, and other founders.
The magic happens when a great idea and the right people find each other. With this community, we make that moment a lot easier.
