Find a remote co-founder

More and more founding teams work remotely. Removing the location constraint dramatically widens the pool of potential partners, which is particularly useful when looking for an experienced CTO or a specialist in a niche market.

In short

To find a remote co-founder, publish your project on EasyCofounder and mark it as fully remote, then filter talent by skills across countries and time zones. Use the built-in messaging and video calls to get to know candidates, work on a small project together and meet in person at least once before signing anything.

On EasyCofounder, you can state your remote policy on your project; it is shown to candidates and taken into account by the matching. Talent from France, the UK, Spain, Germany and elsewhere in Europe can find your project, and the platform is available in English, French, Spanish and German.

Co-founding remotely: what matters

  • A wider talent pool

    Without a location requirement, you can reach skilled people across Europe instead of a single city.

  • Clear working rules

    Agree from the start on overlapping hours, tools, decision-making and how often you meet in person.

  • Formalise the partnership

    Remote or not, put roles, commitment, vesting and equity split in a written founders’ agreement.
