The KASE Idea Matchmaker
See exactly who completes your founding team.
Most matchmakers hand you a number and ask you to trust it. CoMind shows the math. Describe your idea in one sentence — we derive the four capability dimensions it actually needs, lay your own profile over it, and rank the co-founders who are strong precisely where you’re not. Complementary, not clones.

bar = candidate · line = required
Strong exactly where you’re light.
Same idea, two candidates. CoMind ranks the one who fills your gaps — flip a card to see the per-axis fit.
Four transparent dimensions — Knowledge, Acumen, Skills, Experience — on every person and every idea.
Co-founders ranked by complementarity: the exact gaps you can’t fill. Sparring stays similarity-matched, on purpose.
Every match is explainable — one match % plus a per-axis ✓/✗ (e.g. 4/4 fit). No black box.
AI idea intake: pitch in one sentence, the Idea agent drafts the card, the engine derives its required KASE.
Deterministic, unit-tested scoring — same inputs, same result, every time.
Early demo build with illustrative profiles — a real, inspectable mechanism, no fabricated traction.
Why now
Hiring has a market. Co-founding doesn’t. Yet.
MVP · live demoEvery other layer of company-building got an operating system. Capital has term sheets and data rooms. Hiring has structured interviews and applicant tracking. But the highest-variance decision a founder ever makes — who they build with — still runs on coffee chats and “a friend of a friend who can code.”
- More solo and first-time founders are starting up — and arriving without a team.
- Remote-first broke the old default: your co-founder isn’t whoever sat at the next desk.
- Capability is finally describable in structured terms — four 0–100 axes, not résumé folklore.
Matching is the wedge; the network of people and ideas that accumulates is the moat.
One language for people and ideas: KASE
CoMind scores every person — and every idea’s needs — on the same four axes. A founder is a KASE profile; an idea isn’t, so CoMind derives the profile the idea requires. Once capability is four numbers, “are we a fit?” stops being a feeling.

The key value
The match that matters: the half you’re missing
Most “find a co-founder” lists surface people like you — same background, same instincts, same blind spots. That’s how you end up with two engineers and no go-to-market.
CoMind starts from the idea, not the person. It derives the idea’s required KASE, then ranks candidates by how well they cover the axes where you’re short and the idea is hungry. Where your idea needs Skills and you’re at 50, it surfaces the builder at 90.
Co-founderscomplementarity → fills your gaps
Sparringsimilarity → peers like you
Filled = what your idea needs · dashed = your KASE. The gap between them is what a co-founder fills.

Pitch it in plain language
Type one line into the Idea agent and hit Draft with AI. No 40-field form.
“A clinic-side platform that turns messy referral faxes into structured patient handoffs — HIPAA-safe.”
Draft with AI

CoMind derives what it needs
The engine turns the idea into a required KASE profile — here, high on Knowledge and Skills. Every number is editable; nothing is hidden.
3
Scan candidates against it
Every candidate is scored against the idea’s needs and ranked — highest complementary fit first.

No black box
You can read every match.
Founders won’t bet their company on a number they can’t interrogate. Investors won’t either. So CoMind shows its work: one headline match % across four equally-weighted axes, plus a per-axis ✓/✗ with the candidate’s level drawn against the idea’s required threshold.
The scoring engine is pure, deterministic, and unit-tested against golden fixtures — same inputs, same result, every time. That’s what makes a match defensible to your gut and to your cap table.
