Founder with an idea
Looking for: a technical co-founder
A platform by IT Community of Uzbekistan
Joiner
Find your co-founder, build your startup.
A free platform that helps people find co-founders, team members and projects to join. You have a skill set and either an idea that needs people, or you are looking for a project worth your time. Joiner matches you on skills, experience, interests and what you are actually after.

How matching looks
The problem
Two sides that rarely meet
Most products never get started for the same reason. The idea and the people who could build it are in the same city, sometimes in the same chat, and still never find each other.
You have an idea
A product in your head, a market you understand, maybe a first version already put together. What is missing is the person who can build it with you and stay through the boring part.
- Technical co-founder
- First team members
- A designer for the MVP
Joiner
You have the skills
Years of engineering, design or growth work behind you, and the wish to own a product instead of closing tickets on someone else's. What is missing is a project worth that time.
- An early stage project
- A founding role
- Real ownership
Who is on the platform
Founders, builders and the people in between
Every profile shows skills, background, what the person brings to the table and what kind of partner or project they are after. No guessing from a one line bio.
Technical founders
Developers, ML engineers and DevOps who want to build their own product rather than take one more ticket from a backlog.
Business founders
People with an idea, a market they know well and business experience, looking for a technical partner to turn it into a working product.
Designers
UX and UI people who want to shape a product from the first screen, not from the tenth round of fixes on something already shipped.
Marketers
Growth and performance specialists who join early, own the launch and bring the first real users instead of arriving after the fact.
How it works
Four steps, no gatekeeping
Sign up

Why our own platform
Built for this market, not adapted to it
Global co-founder platforms exist. None of them were made for a founder in Tashkent, Samarkand or Nukus.
Local focus
The platform is built around the Uzbek ecosystem: local market, local teams, people you can actually sit down with.
Profiles are checked
Profiles go through moderation, so browsing does not turn into filtering out empty accounts and noise.
Balance of roles
Technical and business profiles are kept in balance, instead of a crowd of ideas with nobody left to build them.
Three languages
The interface works in Russian, Uzbek and English, so nobody is pushed into a language they are less comfortable in.
