The right co-founder is the biggest decision you will make
Most startups that fail do not fail on the idea. They fail on the team. Revise co-founder matching helps you meet founders across Africa whose skills, ambition and working style complement yours, and gives you the structure to find out whether you should build together before you sign anything.
Made for founders who are
- Technical and looking for a commercial or operator co-founder
- Commercial and looking for someone to build the product
- Solo and ready to turn an idea into a real team
- Experienced operators who want to join an early-stage company
Three steps from profile to first conversation
Build your founder profile
Share your role, skills, experience, timezone and what you want to build. It is the same profile you use for your Revise application.
Say who you are looking for
Tell us the skills, commitment and location you need in a co-founder, and what you bring in return.
Meet with both sides agreeing
Browse matched founders and send an intro request. Contact details are only shared when both of you say yes.
More than a list of names
A good match is only the start. Co-founding goes well when you agree early on roles, equity, time and how decisions get made.
- Real founder profiles, tied to a Revise account
- Matched on skills, stage, commitment and timezone
- Privacy first: intros only happen when both founders agree
- A free founders’ agreement template to put the deal in writing
- A route into the Revise Accelerator once your team is formed

Is co-founder matching free?
Getting started is free. All you need is a Revise account.
How do I get started?

Do I have to apply to the accelerator?
No. Co-founder matching is open to anyone with a Revise account. If your new team wants to apply later, your profile is already done.
Who can see my details?
