After nearly a year and 5 successful meetups in Boulder, Co-Founders Wanted is finally coming to Denver! We’re proud to announce that Galvanize is hosting the most successful co-founder meetup in the country Thursday March 7^th. CoFoundersLab is a Maryland based startup focused on helping entrepreneurs find a partner to kick off their idea through a database of other entrepreneurs, coaching on finding the right personality fit, and local meetups to facilitate those connections in person.

The Co-Founders Wanted meetup got its Colorado start when CoFoundersLab partnered with Boulder based accelerator TechStars to create a private network of founders powered CoFoundersLab technology called FounderMatch. The meetup has even helped the crew at MobiPlug, a TechStars 2012 graduate, add a founder to the mix at just the right time.

What makes these meetups unique is not only the format, which provides some basic structure for meeting likely matches, but the philosophy behind what makes a successful match.  Simple concepts like focusing on diversity and flexibility with your team, evaluating personality archetypes for compatibility, or just making a prototype increase your likelihood of finding the right person to add to your team dramatically. Startups know that in order to make it you have to act decisively and act fast if you’re going to succeed. CoFoundersLab gives entrepreneurs the ammunition they need to find the right person more efficiently than any other method out there.

The next few key elements of success are centered on the meetup itself. Improving your odds by creating a profile at CoFoundersLab.com and finding the Co-Founders Wanted meetup in your area already increases the probability of finding a Co-Founder by broadening your reach to potential founders. When you couple that effort with doing your homework on who is going to be your local meetup to make the most of the time spent networking as opposed to just hoping you bump into someone interesting is critical. CoFoundersLab gives you the opportunity to minimize the luck aspect and puts the control back in your hands to find the right person to help you visualize the aspirations you’ve got for that startup idea that is going to change the world.

I am excited to be hosting the first ever Co-Founders Wanted Denver and bringing the success of a huge collective of co-founders from around the country to the booming Denver entrepreneurial scene. RSVP on meetup, create a profile at CoFoundersLab.com and come see us tomorrow night!
