"Sometimes we become an indie developer because we can't find anyone else. If we have a suitable co-founder, we can do things better and more efficiently. We are no longer lonely."

Sebastian Wu • Solo Founder

"We can't always rely on finding our co-founders among our acquaintances, we needed an online platform that has all the information we need to know when finding people that would align with our goals, values, and required roles."

Jeyoung Jung • Entrepreneur

"This could really empower solo founders who are hesitant to take the plunge alone. Partnering up can make the journey much more manageable and enjoyable."

Vivian • Tech Entrepreneur
