FOUNDER SHAADI

Your co-founder is not your soulmate.
Stop pretending.

No dowry. Only equity.

Four steps to product-market wife

  1. 1

    Submit biodata

    Two pages. Height in centimetres because your mother insists. Last slide is your cap table, because ours does too.

  2. 2

    Kundali Milan

    We run all 36 gunas against runway, dilution, and whether you share a lead investor. That last one disqualifies more people than you'd think.

  3. 3

    Aunty diligence

    A real aunty calls three references. One of them will be your seed investor and she will ask about the down round.

  4. 4

    Coffee in Hayes Valley

    Forty-five minutes, chaperoned. If either party opens a laptop, the match is void and the aunty keeps the deposit.

NEW! 6 fresh rishtas this week

This week's biodatas

Names changed. Valuations not.

Politely declined this week

Kundali Milan

Eight koots. Thirty-six gunas. Zero chemistry required.

Happily merged

We closed the Series A and the wedding in the same week. Same lawyer, and she gave us a bundle rate on both.

The hat that started this whole problem

Somebody wore it to a party in the Mission, four people asked where to get one, and nobody in that photo has been on a date since.

Restocking when the first Founder Shaadi couple raises a Series B. Not before. That's the deal.

Tell me when it's back

Questions your mother asked

Is this real?

The domain is real. We bought it at 1am and told each other it was research. Everything past that is negotiable.

Do you match non-founders?

Yes. Internally we call them customers.

My parents care about caste.

Supported. So is gotra, and so is lead investor, which in this city is doing most of the work anyway.

I'm an L6 at Google, not a founder.

Please see the newspaper advertisement above. Then note that it says software engineers kindly do call, because the market has moved and so have we.

What's the exit?

Marriage is the exit. There is no secondary.

Can I use this as my dating profile?

People already have. Two of them told us it worked, which is two more than we expected.

Who built this?

Two founders who were, at the time of writing, extremely single. See below.
