How do you find the right co-founder, especially overseas?

by

Hi PH Community,

I'm currently building a health-focused platform where users are rewarded for taking care of their well-being. The idea is to create a positive feedback loop—help people stay healthy while contributing to a larger ecosystem of wellness.

I'm working solo right now—handling everything from development to outreach. Before this, I collaborated on a few other projects, but it’s tough to find people who share the same level of commitment and vision.

Since most of my target audience is in the West and I’m planning to incorporate the company in the US, I’m looking for a potential co-founder based there—someone who deeply resonates with the mission.

If you've been in a similar situation or have any suggestions for where/how to find the right co-founder, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Hi Rahul,

Finding the right co-founder, especially overseas, can definitely be challenging but rewarding. Since your target audience and incorporation plans are US-based, focusing your search on US startup communities might help. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Join US-based startup and health-tech communities: Platforms like Indie Hackers, Y Combinator’s Startup School, and health-focused Slack or Discord groups often have passionate founders and collaborators looking for projects.

2. Attend virtual events and webinars: Many US-based startup events are now online, providing a great way to network without geographical constraints.

3. Leverage LinkedIn and Twitter: Engage with people who post about health tech or wellness startups. Personalized outreach explaining your mission can open doors.

4. Consider co-founder matching platforms: Websites like CoFoundersLab or FounderDating specialize in connecting entrepreneurs globally.

5. Be clear about vision and expectations: When you find potential candidates, ensure alignment on commitment, values, and goals to build a strong partnership.

Best of luck building your platform—your mission to create a positive wellness ecosystem sounds impactful and much needed!
