Cofounders Wanted
Find your CTO, your CEO, your growth lead, your founding team.
The monthly room where founders become cofounders.

You can only carry it so far alone. The build needs a builder. The product needs a closer. The 4am calls need someone who owns the outcome with you.
Cofounders Wanted is the one night a month where you find them. No pitches, no panels, no cards you throw away. Just a filtered room of serious founders, all building, all looking for co-founders.
Walk out with a technical cofounder, a commercial partner who's sold into your market, or a growth lead who wants in at zero.
The venue
We're hosting at BOCASU, a Japanese café in Al Quoz built around bonsai trees, specialty coffee, and calm. No bar, no noise, no blur. Just clear heads and real talk, which is exactly what this room needs.
A bonsai may look like one tree, but it is never grown alone. It takes time and careful hands shaping it again and again. A startup is the same. The best ones are never built alone.
What's included
✅ The attendee sheet, 5 hours before doors *
✅ 1 Signature Mocktail, 1 popcorn, 1 starter salad.
✅ Your colour name tag
✅ Founders-Only WhatsApp Group

How it works

1. The sheet drops 5 hours before doors. Study it like a scouting report. One line on every attendee: what they're building, what they bring, who they want. Pick your five. Show up with a plan, not a hope.
2. Coloured name tags shows the room who you are.
   🟢 Green: Build. CTOs, engineers, technical cofounders.
   🔵 Blue: Sell. CEOs, commercial and sales-driven founders.
   🟣 Purple: Grow. CMOs, CPOs, COOs, heads of growth and product.
3. Spot by colour. No host, no agenda.

1 Signature Mocktail, 1 popcorn, 1 starter salad on us, and a room full of people looking for each other.

👔 Dress Code: Smart casual.
🚗 Parking: Plenty infront of the venue.
