How to write a co-founder wanted post
A template-driven guide to writing co-founder wanted posts that explain stage, skills, trial projects, and expectations.
Lead with product and stage
Serious collaborators want to know what exists: idea, prototype, waitlist, or revenue. Vague “disrupting X” posts waste everyone’s time.
Propose a trial before equity
Suggest a two-week project with clear deliverables and hours. Equity talks are easier after you have worked together once.
Publish and follow up
Post the Wanted listing, keep your profile updated, and message people whose Offer posts match. A good post is a filter, not a guarantee.
