Foundermatcha 2.0
Business
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Foundermatcha connects startup founders with the technical co-founders and founding engineers they need to build something great.
Most founders waste months on LinkedIn, cold emails, and coffee chats that go nowhere. Foundermatcha uses AI to understand who you are, what you're building, and what you actually need in a partner — then surfaces people who are genuinely compatible.
How it works
When you join, our AI onboarding assistant gets to know you through a natural voice or text conversation. No lengthy forms. Just talk about your startup, your background, and what you're looking for. We handle the rest.
Smart Matching
Our compatibility algorithm goes beyond skills and experience. It considers your stage, vision, working style, and goals to surface matches that make sense — not just people who look good on paper.

1.1.1 5 Jul
Meet your co-founder, guided by a smarter matchmaker.
Foundermatcha 1.1.0 puts an AI matchmaker at the heart of your matches. It learns what you're really looking for, then introduces candidates one at a time — in its own words — making the case for why you fit and answering your questions before you ever say hello.
• An AI matchmaker that reasons about who's genuinely right for you
• Every candidate introduced with their photo and the story behind the fit
• Ask "tell me more" and get real detail, not filler
• Faster, smoother onboarding that shows your progress and remembers where you left off
Your next co-founder is one conversation away.
1.1.0 20 Jun
This update makes getting set up faster and your matches sharper.
• Import from LinkedIn — build your profile in seconds by pulling it straight from LinkedIn instead of typing it all out.
• Smarter, clearer matches — we now weigh what actually matters to you: your deal-breakers, location and work style, and your equity/cash expectations. The result is better-fit introductions, with clearer reasons why you two could work.
• Smoother voice onboarding — the voice conversation feels more natural and now holds up in noisy rooms, so your answers don't get cut off mid-thought.
• More reliable chats & matches — a refreshed chat list, steadier loading, and timely updates when someone's interested in connecting.
• Plus plenty of polish and fixes under the hood.
1.0.9 6 Jun
More Robust Authentication & Onboarding
1.0.8 23 May
Improvements & bug fixes:
• Voice onboarding is more reliable. Fixed an issue where the AI could occasionally stop responding or fail to play its reply.
• New in-conversation menu. Tap the menu in the top-right during voice onboarding to sign out, or to pause the chat — your progress is saved, so you can pick up right where you left off next time you open the app.
• Better matching for founders. You'll now always be shown at least one candidate after completing your profile, even if very few developers have signed up recently.
• Fixed a reinstall bug. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app now correctly takes you back to the sign-in screen instead of leaving you signed in as a previous user.
• Behind-the-scenes reliability improvements across voice, text, and matching.
1.0.7 21 May
1 line bug fix to fix voice onboarding
1.0.6 20 May
This release focuses on making voice onboarding more reliable:
• The AI's final sentence no longer gets cut off — full responses now play to completion.
• If the connection drops mid-conversation, your chat history is properly restored when you reconnect, so you can pick up where you left off.
• If the AI service has a brief hiccup at startup, the app now retries automatically instead of showing an error.
• Voice onboarding launches faster and is less likely to get stuck on a "Disconnected" state, even when your network is patchy.
Profile & matching
• Editing your profile only saves the fields you actually change — no more accidental overwrites of other profile data.
• Fixed an issue that prevented some users from being matched after completing onboarding.
Plus general stability improvements throughout.
1.0.5 15 May
A big update across onboarding, matching, chat, and payments.
Smoother onboarding
We rebuilt the founder and developer onboarding flows. A silent AI co-pilot now watches your conversation and gently steers it — offering an express path if you're brief, bringing things back on track if you wander, and surfacing "End Chat" when you're done. Founders can now browse multiple candidates and pick, instead of getting one fixed match. We've added country gating with a friendly waitlist for unsupported regions, and the flow now asks founders about their project before their ideal candidate.
Smarter matching
Match reasoning is clearer and easier to read. After you meet a match, you'll get gentle follow-up nudges to keep momentum going, and standout developers may be surfaced more widely. Behind the scenes, the matching algorithm considers more dimensions and runs faster.
A Concierge that actually helps
Your Concierge assistant has been completely rebuilt. It's faster, more decisive, and stays on task — answering direct questions before launching into match suggestions, explaining candidate fit upfront, and remembering context as you move between screens. Long chat sessions no longer drop messages, and replies now stream in for a more natural feel.
Voice and chat polish
The voice/text toggle has been replaced with inline voice notes — hold to record, and your speech becomes a transcribed message. Voice note recording, audio quality, and the typewriter animation are all noticeably smoother. Chat font is a touch bigger and paragraphs are shorter for easier reading.
Profile and account
Profile photos now refresh instantly across every screen after upload. We've added a confirm-password field on sign-up, polished login and signup transitions, and added LinkedIn URLs to profiles. Account deletion is more reliable, and feedback toasts no longer get stuck on the wrong screen.
Payments
Stripe payments are fully integrated end-to-end, with smoother loading after exchanging contact details.
Stability and polish
Dozens of bug fixes from our QA punch list — including a silent CV-parsing issue that was dropping pre-filled profile fields for some users — plus a wide round of micro-animations and screen-transition polish that make the whole app feel more responsive.
Thank you for using Foundermatcha.
