Can you promote in r/cofoundermatch?
r/cofoundermatch is a focused community for founders actively looking to find technical or business cofounders to start, grow, or scale a startup. This is not a networking or discussion forum—if you want to build something real, post your skills, ideas, and what you’re looking for in a partner.
The short answer
Reply publicly with a clear cofounder-oriented message that discloses compensation, traction, expected commitment, and what you bring — do not use the space for product marketing or customer solicitation.
What works here
- Seeking a technical/business cofounder
- Sharing compensation (cash/equity/cash+equity)
- Stating traction (customers/MVP/validated/waitlist)
- Specifying time commitment
- Describing what you bring (funding/expertise/sales)
What gets posts removed
- Advertising a product or soliciting customers
- Vague pitches, buzzwords, or stealth descriptions
- Asking people to 'figure out compensation later'
- Guilt-tripping or toxic language
