About us
About EasyCofounder
EasyCofounder is a platform that connects founders, future business partners and people who want to join a startup.
Our mission
- Help every founder find the right person to start a company with, in France and across Europe.
- Make meeting a co-founder safer by verifying profiles and protecting conversations.
- Share free, practical guides to prepare a partnership (equity, shareholders’ agreement, legal form, funding).
How the platform works
- Each member creates a profile (skills, project, availability) and can post a project or a startup job.
- Matching suggests compatible profiles based on the skills you need, sector, location and, if you filled it in, the compatibility questionnaire.
- You get in touch through the built-in messaging, without your email address being shared with other members.
- Tools help with the next steps: a trial period between co-founders, a guided co-founder agreement, document templates and video calls.
Verification and trust
- Several optional checks appear as badges: identity, LinkedIn profile, GitHub account, domain name and experience confirmed by a former colleague.
- After working together for real, members can leave double-blind reviews, published only once both have written or when the review window closes.
- Any member can report a message or a profile, and reports are reviewed by our moderation team.
Safe conversations and privacy
- Messages are checked before they are sent to detect scams and phishing attempts, and a suspicious message can be held or blocked.
- Email addresses are encrypted in our database and two-factor authentication is available on every account.
- You can export all your data or delete your account at any time from your profile.
How our guides are written
- Each guide answers one specific question founders ask and opens with an “In short” summary.
- Legal and tax guides rely on the official texts in force (Légifrance, BOFiP, Service-public.fr, Bpifrance, INPI), listed in a “Sources” section at the bottom of the page. These are French sources, as those guides describe French law.
- Figures are presented as common practice, not as rules, and examples are fictional cases presented as such.
- The last update date appears under the title of each guide, and a guide is revised when the law or market practice changes.
- Our guides give general guidance and do not replace advice from a lawyer or an accountant.
