Founders & Engineers NYC

Find co-founders, early team members, and startup partners who can help build real companies.

This group is for serious software engineers, technical builders, and founders who want to build startups together.

Purpose
The goal is to connect people who can contribute meaningful value from day one — whether that's engineering, product, sales, operations, domain expertise, distribution, customers, or funding.
Whether you're looking for a technical co-founder, a startup to join, feedback on an idea, or people to help build an MVP, this group is designed to help you meet the right partners.

What This Group Is Not
This is not an "I have an idea, build it for equity" group.
Everyone should be able to clearly explain what they contribute.

Founders Should Bring

• Execution ability and measurable skills
• Customers, industry expertise, or distribution
• Funding or a budget to build

Engineers Should Bring

• Strong technical skills
• Product-building ability
• An interest in building companies rather than freelancing

"You build it, I market it" is not enough.

Events Focus On

• Meeting potential co-founders and early team members
• Startup idea validation and feedback
• Technical and product discussions
• Founder-engineer networking
• Pitching projects and finding collaborators
• Building MVPs and launching startups

Mission
This group exists to help talented people meet the right partners, build products, validate markets, and launch startups.
