For founding teams before they sign

The conversation you should have before you sign anything.

A structured co-founder compatibility audit, mediated by AI. Twenty questions across seven dimensions that predict whether your partnership will make it — or break the company.

One flat fee. Covers both founders. Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

You'll spend more time picking a logo than picking the person you'll live with for the next decade.

Every founder thinks their situation is different. Every one that fell apart thought so too.

65%

of startups fail because of co-founder conflict, not the market.

18mo

median time from first disagreement to breakup.

$0

amount most founders spend validating each other.

How it works

Forty minutes each. One report. One hard conversation you'll be glad you had.

1

One of you pays and starts.

You answer 20 questions privately — no character limits, no time pressure. Takes about 40 minutes.

2

Invite your co-founder.

They get a private link. Same questions. They can't see your answers.

3

AI reads both sets and writes a report.

Not a personality quiz. A structured comparison that names the alignment, the gaps, and the fault lines by dimension.

4

You get a guided conversation script.

Every serious gap comes with a script you can run together this week. Not "you should talk about this" — actual questions, in order.

20 questions across 7 dimensions. Every one designed to make you say something you've been avoiding.

What your report looks like

Real. Specific. Uncomfortable in the right places.

Executive summary

You two are strongly aligned on Work Style and Vision & Scale. There is a serious, unresolved conflict on Money & Exit — specifically, timeline for a liquidity event. There is one red flag that predicts a serious rupture within 24 months if not addressed before you sign. Talk about it this week.

Red flag · Money & Exit

Alex wants a lifestyle business at $10M ARR they fully control. Priya explicitly wants to raise a Series B and swing at a billion-dollar exit. Both were confident this was already understood. It isn't.

Talk about this — script
  1. Each of you name the exact revenue, valuation, and lifestyle where you'd sell tomorrow.
  2. Now name the number where the other person is allowed to sell without your consent.
  3. If those numbers don't overlap, you don't have a company yet — you have two companies fighting for the same cap table.
Amber · Roles & Power

You both said "we'll figure out CEO later." That is the sentence written on the tombstone of every failed founding team. Decide now, on paper, with the tie-break rule.

Aligned · Work Style

You describe each other's healthy and unhealthy weeks almost identically. This is rare and valuable. Protect it.

One flat fee. Covers both founders.

Cheaper than one hour with a startup lawyer. Worth more than any of them.

Questions people ask before they buy

Is this a personality test?

No. Personality tests describe you. This surfaces the specific decisions you and your co-founder disagree on without knowing it yet. Different tool, different job.

What if my co-founder refuses?

That's already a data point. But the questions are direct, non-shaming, and take 40 minutes. Most people who refuse are the ones who most needed to answer.

Who sees our answers?

You see your own. Your co-founder sees theirs. FounderSync sees both to generate the report. Neither of you sees the other's raw answers unless you choose to share them.

Do you use our answers to train AI?

No. Your responses are used only to generate your report. See our Privacy Policy.

What if we've already been working together for a year?

Even better. You'll have real evidence for your answers, and the gaps you've been avoiding will surface faster.

Refunds?

FounderSync offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Refunds are processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record — request one at paddle.net or email hello@foundersync.co.in. See our Refund Policy for details.
