For accelerators & universities

Stronger teams, stronger programs

Your programs are only as strong as the teams inside them. Solo founders stall, key roles stay unfilled, and promising research never becomes a company — because the right co-founder was never in the room.

co-found-me gives accelerators, universities and investors one branded place to form, equip and track founding teams — powered by AI co-founder matching across the entire DACH region.

What partners get

Branded cohort spaces

Run every batch in a private, branded workspace — Kanban board, calendar and team channels included. No spreadsheets, no scattered tools.

Co-founder & talent search

Fill founding-team gaps from the DACH-wide pool. Advanced filters, saved searches and shortlists for exactly the skills each team is missing.

Formation analytics

See teams formed, active projects and engagement across your cohort — the reporting your stakeholders and funders actually expect.

How a partnership works

  1. Book a free pilot cohort

    We set up a branded space for one batch — no commitment, 60–90 days to prove the outcome with your own founders.

  2. Onboard your founders

    Bulk-invite your cohort in minutes. Every team gets full Workspace Pro plus access to the co-founder and specialist network.

  3. Fill the gaps

    Teams use AI matching and advanced search to find the missing co-founders and specialists they need — across the entire DACH region.

  4. Track formation

    Watch teams form and progress in your analytics dashboard, and export the numbers for your own stakeholder and funder reporting.

  5. Scale to an annual plan

    Convert the pilot into an annual Partner or Program plan and add more cohorts as your programs grow.

For the ecosystem

Funded by the people who benefit

Accelerators, universities and investors put their founders on co-found-me — branded cohort spaces, co-founder search, and the reporting they need. That's what keeps the platform free for everyone else.

Partner FAQ

Is the partner program available yet?
Not yet — it's currently in development. Leave your details via the contact form and we'll reach out as soon as the first pilot cohorts launch.
How is the free pilot cohort meant to work?
The plan is a branded space for one of your batches at no cost for 60–90 days. Your founders would use the full platform — matching, workspace and search — so you see real formation and engagement outcomes before committing to an annual plan.
Is co-found-me for accelerators, universities or investors?
All three. Accelerators and incubators running cohorts in branded spaces, university entrepreneurship and EXIST centers matching students and researchers into founding teams, and VC and corporate scouts looking for missing co-founders and specialists for their portfolios.
What will a partner plan cost?
Planned partner plans are seat-based and billed annually: starting at €299/month for up to 25 active seats (Partner), €799/month for up to 100 seats (Program), and custom Enterprise pricing for unlimited seats, SSO and API access. All prices are provisional and may change before launch.
Is it suitable for EXIST teams and university spin-offs?
Yes, that's one of the core goals. Many funding programs — including the EXIST-Gründungsstipendium — expect balanced founding teams. co-found-me is designed to help researchers and students find complementary co-founders early.
Where will our cohort's data be stored?
All servers are located in Germany and the platform is built to GDPR standards. Personal data is not shared with third parties.
