πŸš€ Startives Match β€” AI-Powered Co-Founder Matching

After days of building, I finally launched Startives Match. πŸš€

One problem kept bothering me:
Founders spend weeks searching across LinkedIn, Discord, and communities to find the right co-founder or teammate.

So I built Startives Matchβ€”an AI-powered platform that helps founders discover compatible teammates with transparent compatibility scoring, explainable AI reasoning, and AI-generated introductions.

This is my submission for the Raj Shamani Γ— Emergent AI Builder Challenge.

I'd genuinely love your feedback.

If you think this solves a real problem, an upvote would mean a lot.

    The compatibility score is interesting, but I think the bigger challenge is reducing the risk of a bad partnership rather than increasing the chance of a good one.

    Finding people is relatively easy. Building enough confidence to actually start something together is the harder problem.
