Questions

Before you decide to build together

What is CofounderFit?

CofounderFit is a founder decision workflow for a specific potential partnership. It helps two founders surface alignment and tension areas before splitting equity or formalizing roles, then turns the discussion into practical agreements about how they will work, decide, and build together.

Does CofounderFit find a cofounder for me?

No. CofounderFit is not a matching network or founder marketplace. It is designed for founders who already have a potential cofounder in mind and want a structured way to assess their working fit, discuss important differences, and make a more deliberate partnership decision.

How does the 62-question assessment work?

Each founder answers 62 questions across eight founder-specific dimensions, including leadership, risk, work approach, communication, decision making, stress, values, and vision. The assessment creates a compatibility signal and discussion prompts; it is not a clinical diagnosis or a verdict on either person.

Can I compare results without my cofounder's consent?

No. A comparison is available only when both founders choose to participate and complete their profiles. CofounderFit is built for transparent partnership decisions, so each person contributes their own responses before shared compatibility insights and conversation prompts are generated.

What do founders receive after an Alignment Session?

After an Alignment Session, founders receive a compatibility signal, tailored conversation prompts, and decision documents. These materials help make roles, decision rights, equity, vesting, and working agreements explicit so the partnership can move forward with a clearer shared record.
