CoFoundersLab

At one time, the site wasn't bad, but they decided to upgrade it and they managed to break the most important part of the system: connecting with other cofounders. It's been like that for at least the last year. I thought maybe the problem was that I was using the free account, but I tried the premium and it was even worse. They pretend to have support with a response of "how can I help", but no one will respond after that. I requested a refund and never heard back from them.

Been using the site for quite a while! Super great to see the team committed to improving service always. I like how the team always respond to any queries!

I made the mistake of trying out the premium account for three months before I checked who was running the site. My fault for not doing my due diligence, so I'll eat that.

However, within a week or two of receiving messages from scammer profiles and seeing the lack of activity on the site, I cancelled my subscription.

I also took a screenshot of the 11-8-2021 cancellation acknowledgement because anybody with any character and integrity would have already shut down the billing system on this failed platform.

As I suspected, as of March 13,2022, my account is still active as a premium member.

I tried to go through the cancellation process again, but they've changed it and made it much more difficult to make it through the process. In addition, their in-platform communication system doesn't work, so you have to contact them through email.

If you look at the "team" behind the platform, you can start getting an idea of what's going on: https://cofounderslab.com/team

In fact, if you try to click on any of the "team" profiles, they come up blank; except for Joshua Wenner the lead hack of the platform.

While Wenner keeps his dead cofounderslab platform's billng system on, he's off on the "bearded veteran" kick offering "Emotional Resilience Training (ERT):" https://www.joshuamichaelwenner.com

Maybe Wenner thinks he came up with a new business model by generating, fraudulent, residual income off of dead platforms.

The reason you go on the website is to find a cofounder right? Well since the find a cofounder feature is terrible, there is almost no point. It is difficult to quickly browse cofounders as their profiles do not have important information at a glance. You must open the profile in a new tab to see anything useful. 90% of the profiles are inactive, and there is no way to sort by active profiles.

I upgraded to premium, paid for 6 months and never received it. Months have gone by and I've tried just about everything to contact them but I never get a response.
I'm not the only one who has this issue. It actually seems to be very common for them.
It's had to believe that companies operate like this.

I purchased their premium account. They disabled me without any communication within 2 days. I tried raising complaint via phone, email, website and messenger, they never responded. I doubt they are genuine people.
For two days (when it was working), I tried connecting with about 50 people for my startup, I still got zero responses or zero views in my profile which isn't possible unless its all fake.

I have been on CoFounderLab for over a year now and it definitely had some buggy issues, but it seems they have new owners with anew vision. The site has been updated but still has room for improvement. I found my cofounder and also 2 other team members on there so my experience has been good. I agree that they need to change the filter for searching on the free part

Use the site for free for a VERY limited period of time, then it locks you out until you pay an extortionate fee. Also most of the posts are people from foreign countries who aren't founders- but are trying to scam you or obtain work for their agencies. AVOID. Total waste of time/scam

They pretend like the service is free, but once you start engaging with people, they block you from searching with a message that says: "Want unlimited search access, direct messaging capabilities and access to potential business partners now? Upgrade to premium or wait until the start of next month to regain free access". This was unpleasant, but I waited until the next month to realize this was a scam... they don't actually give your access back. They lock you down till you pay them. Very disappointing.

Maybe there are good people in the CoFoundersLab pool, but I signed up and the next day received a long detailed letter from a woman claiming to be in California. She appeared to be from the middle east, and there was some slight broken English in the letter. She told me a long story about a money making scheme in Iraq. My BROWSER settings were changed and my computer took on a life of it's own! VERY AGGRESSIVE VIRUS DEPLOYMENT ON MY COMPUTER!

I DO in fact know how to clean my computer even with an aggressive attack like this because I have a LOT of helpdesk analyst experience, but this would have freaked out a lot of people for very good reason. And it came from simply opening the email. It took me an hour total find and delete unauthorized software and browser plugins they installed on my computer and fully rid myself of the compromise to my computer and private files, email, etc.

This will my first and only experience with CoFoundersLab. I was so hopeful in the beginning but something like this happening within 24 hours of a membership in a legitimate online community is unheard of. Never happened to me in 25+ years.

This is what you'd expect from a hack site, or a gambling website, or an illegal site selling knockoff pirated products from a third-rate wanna be online business. Very scary. I won't be back.

Not even bother to rate. I attended their accelerator program spending 2,000 dollars. It's was a total waste of money, or more importantly waste of time. It was poorly organized, we didn't receive any detail information about the program in advance. When I asked them by email, they just sent me a link of their website saying, join the program. I already joined the program, i need to know the detail of it. Response was very unprofessional and the content of the courses was just something you can have on the web. Just like other reviewers say, it's not worth it.

I'm a Pro member and have been very disappointed with the pool of technical co-founders along with the lackluster level of customer care. There is no hard-line vetting to filter out the "technical co-founders" who are actually just SOLICITING for your business.

EVERY single one I've talked to want to join my startup for a fee and equity, and they have a team of engineers, which after some digging, you realize it's a tech development firm! I already have an outsourced tech team for Phase One, that's why I'm on CoFoundersLab now: to find persons, unaffiliated to any tech service company, to co-found this startup for further development.

I brought this issue up with customer care, but the rep tells me to just mark the ones I talked to as "SPAM", they're aware of this pervasive issue, and they'll take action to remove or suspend the marked members.

Heck no, am I going to brand someone with whom I spoke for 30 minutes as "SPAM". That is tactless and dangerous to me. Sure, these "co-founder"s are mostly gimmick and falsehood, but I talked to them as people, vis-à-vis.

It would be too obvious (after we've exchanged emails and phone numbers) to them who is responsible for getting their account closed or suspended. Talk about subjecting me to potential stalker and trolling crazies. Not cool.
