When I was in college, I found friends in my class to help me. They were my partners or in other words, the cofounders to my degree.
When I started looking for a job, I latched on to anyone who was able to help. But I didn't have anyone to help me through the process. Even starting a company was very difficult. Some people are lucky enough to have mentors who helped them every step of the way; taught them what to do and not to do. But for the vast majority, this is not the case.
Then it dawned on me, why shouldn't everyone have the support they need. Half the battle is just figuring out what to do. So I dabbled with the idea of taking knowledge from the world and organize it in a way that helps each person where ever they are so they can leap frog to where they want to go. This sound like a tall order. Some told me this was way too large of an idea and I should make this smaller. And I did. I am focused on college students, graduate students, entrepreneurs and startups. But this product will also target investors as well. We will help solve large problems like climate change and so many more issues.
This matters to us because we care about helping people have the tools to get to their desired outcome. The world is noisy, therefore, most people end up following a template that was given to us because we are too scared of the unknown. But we want to help with that. If people are willing to make changes, then we should help provide them with the tools they need to help them make those changes as easy as possible.
We created cofounder because we believe a cofounder shouldn't only exist for a startup. But we believe a cofounder should exist for any endeavor you take on where just one person is just not enough. The world is far more complex and it's challenging for one person to figure it all out. These days you need a team and that's not always possible. So Cofounder is helping you with your own personal team.
