Foundity 2.0 - The Social Startup Network.

The global startup ecosystem to connect, build, and grow — from idea to scale. Foundity brings the full founder journey into one place. Less scattered. More social. More action.

Hey hey, Product Hunt! For all builders out there, we created Foundity: The Social Startup Network.
Since then, we’ve gotten amazing thank-you messages from beta users, and we’re excited to open it up to all of you– and hopefully, to future generations of innovators.

It started in a UC Berkeley dorm during a summer entrepreneurship program, where we saw the opportunity to bring startup building online and create a global ecosystem — for anyone, anywhere.
Not just for those in exclusive, time-bound programs, but for every builder, at every stage, all year round.

This is your sandbox– a place to try, fail, grow, and still have something to fall back on.

As we are creating this building hub for all of you, we’d love your feedback: what features do you love, want, or wish we’d improve? 👾

Right now, posting, talking, and connecting are free.
Our Education Hub with insider learning materials, events, and challenges is normally $12.99/month, but we’re offering it for $7.99 for one month during after our PH launch 🚀

To creating the space we wish we all had.
Let’s build faster, together.

Thank you,
– Isabelle and Joy

One of the best platforms I have seen where it comes to putting yourself out there and finding co-founders.

If you are just beginning and looking for co-founders, as well as some other resources to launch your startup. I highly recommend Foundity.

I have seen the v1 and this v2 is a notch up from what they had before.

Isabelle Dijkhorst

@logicbloke Thanks so much Taha– that means a lot to us! We're really trying to understand users' needs and helping them get to the next stage, as well as finding co-founders.

Yes, it definitely has a new look! It only goes up from here🌟

This is the future! How did you make this video?

@alicia_nastenko Thanks!! We hope it can help many people– as well as future generations of startup builders. We used ScreenStudio and Capcut🙌

Really liking the approach Foundity 2.0 is taking to support early-stage founders with structured guidance and clarity. Do you plan to integrate any founder matchmaking or community-based feedback features down the line
Isabelle Dijkhorst

@shahriardgm Thank you so much Shahriar! Yes, we currently have a searchable database of our startups and community forum to get feedback! You can show what you're working on and people can find you– helping you match with other founders.

Our next step is to integrate AI into our database and user profiles so matchmaking is faster and more personalized, as well as learning recourses being curated. For example, through stage, goals, role etc.

Wonderfull product for early founders, we have already created our Product on the foundity platform. The onboarding was easy & easy to add my co-founder to the platform. Looking forward to see AI in the platform

Isabelle Dijkhorst

@gopalaratnasingam_venugash Thank you– that's awesome to hear! So glad the onboarding went smoothly and that you're already building on Foundity 🙌 Would love to hear more about what kind of AI features you'd find most useful, any ideas in mind?

💎 Pixel perfection

As a startup enthusiast and software engineer, I've always been passionate about building innovative products and collaborating with like-minded people. However, I often found it challenging to discover others who shared the same vision and domain expertise.

That’s why I’m excited to share a new approach I’ve started using to connect with individuals who not only share similar interests but also have complementary skills, making it easier to team up and work on real ideas from day one.

Whether you’re looking for your next side project, a founding team, or simply want to learn by doing, this is the perfect space to find collaborators, validate ideas, and grow together.

I’ll also be recommending this to my juniors and peers—if you’re someone with curiosity, drive, and the desire to build something meaningful, this can be your launchpad to finding your next startup, side hustle, or even co-founder.

@anurag_sharma51 Hey Anurag! Thank you so much– I love when ambitious people like you are so aligned with our mission. We love to have you join our platform, and give great feedback.

You're exactly right– platforms like LinkedIn and Reddit can make it difficult to find someone aligned to your niche, and have real connections with people. Great to hear our online startup hub can help you with that!

Looking forward to seeing what you create🤩

Aniek van Someren

Facebook for the next Zuckerberg, so cool!

Isabelle Dijkhorst

Igor Den

Feels like Twitter for founders, but way more focused and actionable

Isabelle Dijkhorst

@igor_den Yes! A focused space where startup convos actually lead to action and building

Dilan Swami

I absolutely loved the idea of Foundity when I first heard about it! I've heard so many successful founders talk about the moment they met some cracked founding team member as one of the most important moments for their success.

I'm looking forward to seeing the product evolve.

Isabelle Dijkhorst

@dilan_swami Thank you so much Dilan! Exactly, meeting the right ambitious people who are just as excited as you to create something is so important. Grateful for your support🙌
