01 / Why JoinForces

Two ventures building toward one market could be one.

  1. 01

    Same problem, same stage

    We match ventures that overlap in industry, problem, customer, and progress, so every introduction starts with real common ground.

  2. 02

    One stronger venture

    Bring together customers, code, capital, and months of work, and go further as one team.

  3. 03

    Private until you both say yes

    Anonymized matches. Identities are revealed only on mutual interest.

Today, side by side

Two promising ventures

  • Real progress on the same problem
  • Each reaching the same customers
  • Each raising on its own
  • Each carrying its own costs

With JoinForces

One venture, built together.

  • Pooled traction and capital
  • A bigger team
  • One stronger story for customers and investors
  • Faster to market

02 / How it works

Three steps. No public profiles.

The full process
  1. 1

    Build your venture profile

    What you're building, who it's for, how far you've got.

  2. 2

    Meet a similar venture

    We share an anonymized profile of a founder at your stage, building toward the same goal.

  3. 3

    If you both say yes, we introduce you

    Identities are revealed and we introduce you to explore combining.

03 / What can come of a match

From a light collaboration to a new company.

  1. Level 1

    Collaborate

  2. Level 2

    Share resources

  3. Level 3

    Combine products

  4. Level 4

    Form a new company

Founders choose how far they're open to going. We only propose matches that fit both sides' answers, and nothing happens without your say.

04 / Who it's for

For founders who are better together.

A fit if you…

  • Have a live product, prototype, or early traction
  • Know there are others building something similar
  • Love the idea of building with someone who gets it
  • Are open to changing your role or merging products

Probably not for you if you…

  • Are looking for a technical cofounder
  • Are looking for an investor
  • Want a job
  • Want a social or meetup group

05 / Privacy model

Anonymous until you both say Interested.

  • Your profile is never public.
  • Matches see an anonymized summary, never your name or company.
  • Financials are shared as ranges only.
