The Process

How it works

01

Create your profile

Tell us your skills, timezone, working style, and what kind of co-founder you need. Dev, marketer, designer, growth hacker — we need the full picture.

02

Get matched

Our algorithm pairs you with a founder whose skills complement yours. Both sides must accept the match — chemistry matters as much as capability.

03

Co-live & co-build

Move into your city together for 3 months. Ship product. Share rent. Build momentum that outlasts the rotation.

Each city selected for its founder ecosystem, cost of living, and co-working infrastructure.

Why Founderpad
“The best co-founder you'll ever find isn't at a networking event. They're somewhere in Southeast Asia, building something, just like you.”

Solo traveling founders waste months looking for the right technical or go-to-market partner. Founderpad compresses that search into weeks — and puts you in the same city, same apartment, same context.

Accelerated trust
3 months of shared living builds more trust than 3 years of Zoom calls.
🔁
Complementary by design
We match on skills, not vibes. Developer + marketer. Designer + engineer.
🏖️
Built for builders
Low cost, high focus, great food, fast internet. SEA is the best place to ship.
🔗
Network that travels
Each rotation adds 2–4 founders to your permanent inner circle.
