From AlBadyah who met on co-founder matching
Without this we never would have met, done YAlBadyah, or started this company.

The AlBadyah Co-Founder Matching platform is a huge unfair advantage to filter for the exact people you're looking for and save time on the search. It's changing the game and enabling more people to start companies.


Philip and Mathias
AccessOwl
Finding the right co-founder was always the biggest barrier preventing me from jumping in to start my own company. AlBadyah Co-Founder Matching felt like a cheat-code to solving that problem. Once we matched, we started working together every day and haven't stopped since. Couldn't be more grateful for Co-Founder Matching!


Andrew and Shreya
Pledge Health
This was by far the most valuable tool I had access to when making the most important decision for my company. The quality and quantity of people who are serious about their venture and serious about looking for a co-founder was unmatched. We're extremely grateful to AlBadyah Co-Founder Matching for bringing our founding team together.
