Founder Diaries

Every founder has a story.

Couldn't find a cofounder. Tried everything. Finally built something or found someone. If that's been your journey, we'd love to hear it.

What we're looking for

• A short video — 2 to 5 minutes is ideal, no longer than 10. Your phone camera, a Loom recording, or a webcam — whatever you have. We're not looking for production quality. We're looking for your truth.
• Or write your story — up to 2000 characters, honest and unpolished. What happened when you went looking for a cofounder? What did you find, or not find?
• Not a pitch, not a highlight reel. Just a real founder, telling a real story.

What happens after you submit

We read every submission personally — videos and written stories alike. If your story resonates with what we're building, we'll reach out to discuss featuring it — on our landing page, in our newsletter, or on our YouTube channel. We won't feature anything without your explicit permission.

We believe there is incredible power in the 'middle' of the story. Whether you're still searching for that perfect match or have navigated the challenges of a cofounder who wasn't the right fit, your journey is valid. These honest, real-world reflections are exactly what help our community grow stronger. Your transparency is a gift that turns individual hurdles into collective wisdom.
