OnlyFounders
[edit]Onlyfounders[1] founded by CEO Montasser Chebbah,[2] is a dynamic startup based in London, that combines innovative elements of a social networking platform with a focus on entrepreneurship. It serves as a unique junction between a dating app format and professional networking, often described as "Tinder[3] for Founders." The platform is designed to help entrepreneurs find co-founders and teammates who share similar goals and interests, facilitating collaboration and idea-sharing, Onlyfounders combines the functionalities of a matchmaking app with elements of professional networking, making it a unique tool for budding and established entrepreneurs alike.
The app incorporates filters and matching algorithms to connect users based on their skills, interests, and what they are seeking in a business partner. Beyond just the app, Onlyfounders[4] Extends into the real world by organizing and listing London’s best networking events, pitch competitions, and incubator programs. This aspect of the service amplifies its utility by not only connecting founders online, but also fostering physical meetups and collaborations.
History
[edit]The concept of Onlyfounders[5] was developed by Montasser Chebbah[6] during his tenure at Hult International Business School[7]. Recognizing a gap in the market for entrepreneurial networking, Chebbah envisioned a platform that would facilitate easier and more meaningful connections between like-minded individuals in the business sector. The startup was officially launched in 2023 following a series of pilot tests and development phases that refined its user interface and functionality.
Looking forward, Onlyfounders plans to expand its services beyond London, targeting other major entrepreneurial hubs across Europe and North America. The company also aims to enhance its platform with more advanced AI to improve match accuracy and user engagement.
Additionally, Montassar emphasizes innovative marketing strategies, such as using branded merchandise creatively during events. For instance, the startup's T-shirts are not just apparel but are used as mobile billboards at events, displaying the Onlyfounders brand and sometimes even detailed pitch decks on the back. This approach bypasses traditional marketing and advertisement channels, focusing instead on direct engagement and organic visibility at networking gatherings.
