Just wanna genuinely ask paano niyo po nahanap ang iyong co-founders for your startup? Mga friends/classmates? Work? University? Startup events? LinkedIn? Reddit/Facebook groups?
and if naghahanap parin po kayo, what makes it difficult?
Would love to hear how you guys are approaching it.
I feel like that finding a mentor can be kinda awkward. You see someone on LinkedIn who seems experienced, send a connection request, and then basically… magdasal ka nlng
So I’m trying to build Tulay — a free platform that helps connect startup founders with mentors based on their actual needs, industry, stage, and what they want to learn.
The idea is pretty simple:
📝 Founder fills out a form
🔎 We look for potential mentors who fit using AI Evaluation and approved by humans
🤝 We reach out to both sides via LinkedIn
🌱 If they’re interested, we make the introduction
💬 Hopefully, it turns into an actual relationship, not just a one-time call
There’s no fee for founders or mentors. I’m still very early in building this, so I’m mainly looking for Filipino founders and experienced people who are willing to mentor.

And honestly, I'd love feedback — especially from people who have tried finding mentors before. What would make something like this actually useful for you?
