FAQ
What is PartnerUp?
PartnerUp is a mobile app for finding a co-founder, a collaborator, or a venture to join. Everyone writes a profile saying what they offer and what they are seeking.

Who is PartnerUp for?
Three kinds of builder use the same offer and seek profile. Founders looking for a co-founder to start or run a venture with.

Profiles lead with what a person offers and seeks rather than job titles, fo

No. Conversations open only after a mutual yes: someone sends you a nudge, you accept it, and only then can either of you write. Every profile and chat carries report and block one tap away, and you can stop being discoverable at any time without deleting your account.
