Testimonials

Here's what they have to say

Abhishek and Paritosh become cofounders of a fintech company.

I had been looking for a cofounder for months – friends, events, apps, I tried it all.

After joining CoffeeSpace, I noticed how the recommendations improved after going through the first few profiles.

Abhishek was my second match on the platform, and we immediately clicked.

Margaux and Deborah found their 3rd cofounder to build Beyond the Runway.

Thank you so much for building this platform – Deb and I had been looking for a third cofounder for a while before finding the perfect candidate on CoffeeSpace.

Their AI and startup experience has already helped us pivot slightly for a bigger opportunity.

Sara and Ted paired up to build Akoya, an Al-powered travel platform.

The matches on CoffeeSpace have been far above & beyond the quality of people I've met over the last 6 months.

Each person I've spoken to has been way closer aligned to the product I'm trying to build - Ted (my latest match) is going to join up and work on Akoya too!
