Designed from experience to address the lack of structured, evidence-led support around founding teams, roles, and readiness early in the startup journey.
The CoFoundery was created to address a gap that many founders, startups, and ecosystem organisations experience but struggle to solve - the lack of structured, evidence-led support around founding teams, roles, and readiness early in the startup journey. The platform has been designed by founders and ecosystem architects who have built companies, supported startups, and worked closely with universities, investors, and support organisations. This experience shapes every aspect of The CoFoundery - from how users are introduced to the platform, to how support is sequenced over time.
Grounded in Practice
Rather than offering generic solutions, The CoFoundery is grounded in the realities of entrepreneurship and ecosystem delivery - focusing on what actually helps people and teams move forward.
The CoFoundery is built on a simple belief: startup outcomes are shaped long before scale, funding, or traction become visible. Teams, roles, behaviours, and decision-making habits formed early tend to persist - for better or worse. That's why the platform prioritises self-understanding, team alignment, and soft skills alongside technical execution. This philosophy is informed by both research and practice. Behavioural science and psychometrics provide evidence-led insight, while lived experience ensures the platform remains practical, humane, and grounded in real-world constraints.
The CoFoundery's role is to enable better decisions, clearer collaboration, and healthier progression across the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The platform does not select founders, approve startups, or determine outcomes.
Instead, it provides a shared, science-led foundation that founders, mentors, investors, and ecosystem partners can build on together. It is built in collaboration with ecosystem partners.
Support should reduce pressure, not increase it. Growth should be intentional, not rushed. And founders should never feel judged for learning as they go.
