Bnder

Hey everyone! I built bnder because I kept running into the same problem as an entrepreneur. The hardest part was never the idea or the funding, it was finding the right people to build with. The ones I ended up working with were rarely the right fit. They didn't share the same drive or commitment I was putting in. I tried everything. LinkedIn got me ignored, Reddit was full of spam, and every cofounder platform I found was either tech-only, outdated, or hid everything behind a paywall. So I built the thing I wished existed. bnder is a joint venture marketplace where entrepreneurs across every industry find co-founders, co-owners, investors, mentors, and early employees. Not just tech, everything from AI startups to restaurants. You can post your venture with pitch videos and detailed cards, then swipe to match or browse the full marketplace by category and location. It's completely free and I built the whole thing myself. Would genuinely love your feedback, and if you're building something and looking for the right people, come check it out. Happy to answer any questions!

Bnder has great potential and offers some useful features, but I encountered a few issues that could be improved. Please contact me so I can share detailed feedback and suggest the changes I'd like to see. Email: [email protected]

Combining co-founders, investors and early employees in one marketplace is ambitious, but the structured venture cards and stated needs make the matching intent much clearer than a generic networking profile. Verification signals and commitment-level filters could become especially valuable as the community grows.

Opening the marketplace beyond tech makes the matching problem more interesting, and the venture cards make intent clearer than a generic social profile. What verification signals can founders request before sharing sensitive details, and can listings state expected time commitment, equity range, and decision authority in structured fields? Those filters would help separate a promising introduction from a workable partnership.

Hey! Bnder definitely has a strong base to build off; consider how easy it is for someone to develop a product now. There's a real demand for funding and scaling. I'd recommend an option that allows users looking for work to find specific companies that are looking for roles. Right now it's hidden within the actual articles.
