Co-founder conflict and team misalignment are a top startup killer – 65% of high-potential startups fail due to conflict among co-founders.
How the Platform Works
“Use this space to share reviews from customers about the products or services offered.”
1) Create account
Create your account using email/password, or simply continue with Google.
Once you’re in, you’re ready to build your profile and start matching.
2) Tell us about yourself
Fill in a short profile so we can understand who you are and what you’re looking for (e.g.):
-
Are you a Founder or a Developer (Techie)?
-
What stage are you at (idea, prototype/MVP, growth)?
-
Your technical level (non-technical to expert)
This takes a couple of minutes, and it’s what powers accurate matching.
3) Get your dashboard and instant matches
As soon as you finish your details, our AI generates your dashboard and starts matching you with relevant people already on the platform - founders are shown techies, and techies are shown founders.
You’ll immediately see:
-
Your match queue
-
Suggested matches based on skills + working style + goals
-
A live “Crush Score” (how strong the match is)
4) Open profiles and review compatibility
Click into any match to see a deeper profile view, including:
-
Skills and tools
-
Interests
-
Experience and industries
-
Compatibility breakdown (skills, values, work culture, and more)
-
A simple visual compatibility chart so you can judge the fit quickly
5) Collaborate and manage everything in one place
Once you’ve matched, Venture Crush becomes your shared workspace.
From your dashboard, you and your match can:
-
Chat in real time and keep all conversations in one place
-
Schedule and join meetings directly (including video calls)
-
Upload and share documents securely
-
Set priorities, track milestones, and monitor progress
-
Keep visibility on tasks, messages, and deadlines
Build, connect, and grow your startup with everything you need in one place.
We can’t promise you love - and this isn’t a dating app.
But we did design the platform like one.
That was deliberate. Dating apps are the world’s most successful connection platforms - built to match people with precision. Their algorithms focus on chemistry, compatibility, and outcomes.
So when we set out to build Venture Crush, we borrowed the same logic. Not only will you recognise how it works - you’ll also recognise how it feels when a match just clicks.
Precision Matching
It uses weighted compatibility scores, just like dating apps do, to pair people based on shared traits.
The goal isn’t romance - it’s chemistry between founders and techies.
Cultural Fit at Scale
It matches users by values, passions, and hobbies - not just skills.
Like dating apps, it builds connections that feel right, not just work on paper.
Adaptive Intelligence (Continuous Learning Feedback Loop)
It learns from real feedback to refine future matches.
The algorithm evolves over time - just like dating platforms learning user preferences.
Storytelling
Every startup has a story worth telling - whether it’s raising your first round, finding the right co-founder, or using the tools that make your journey smoother. From smart fundraising strategies to building with AI, mastering product design, and scaling globally, we share the insights that help founders and techies turn big ideas into lasting ventures.
