1) You should have a list of short 1-2 week projects that founders can work on together. Something founders can work on that is pretty generic and can put a price tag on.

2) You can charge for forming groups around these 1-2week project. Like 5 pounds or something.

So, teams can be formed around ideas and there wouldn't be so much focus on the other person. You can collect their personality types and track which group went on to form teams, this data will be useful for PR.

You can even charge for people to watch a project progress. This might be useful for early start-ups who want to find good people[essentially the same thing as finding a co-founder]. This should open the market up beyond the 1,000-10,000 that vaksel talked about.

Also, matchfounders.com might be infringing on match.com name, so that might need to be looked into.



Thanks, some good points. I like the "trial projects" idea.

do you think the name infringes? Our name came from the concept of "a match-making service" - which is an idea as old as the hills... I don't think that match.com can own the word "match" or the concept of matching people.
