The Shortcut to PMF? It’s Not Money. It’s Talent.
Why? Let’s be real for a second.
Building a startup isn’t hard because of AI, code, or even fundraising.
It’s hard because finding what people actually want—that elusive Product-Market Fit—
feels like playing darts… blindfolded… in a hurricane.
And no one tells you this upfront:
It’s not your engineering team that’s blocking you anymore (thanks AI).
It’s the endless loop of:
- “Is this the right feature?”
- “Do people care?”
- “Why does shipping one idea feel like burning through my entire runway?”
The Real Problem?
Early-stage startups can’t afford to explore fast enough.
Design, product strategy, user testing—it’s messy, expensive, and honestly, most founders are forced to guess their way through it.
That’s where 90% of startups stall. Not because they lacked code.
Because they lacked a process to explore, validate, and iterate without blowing up the budget.
What If You Could Unblock That?
That’s why we built CoCreate.
We don’t throw money at you.
We do something better—
We incubate you with product & design success.
- Imagine having two ex-big-tech coaches—the kind of folks who’ve shipped products at Google, Meta, Amazon, Netflix—
matched exactly to what you’re building.
Building a consumer AI product?
You might get someone who worked on Google Gemini or GitHub Copilot in your corner.
Launching a streaming platform?
We’ll loop in coaches from Twitch or Netflix who’ve lived and breathed that world.
You’re not just getting advice—you’re getting a squad.
Plus, a team of hungry, insanely talented students, such as masters from CMU, graphic design students from RISD who treat your startup like it’s their own sandbox to prove they can build at a world-class level.
So, Who Do We Actually Want to Work With?
We vibe best with founders who:
- They are scrappy but ambitious
- Care about building something authentic, not just chasing trends
- Understand that great products come from rapid exploration, not perfect plans
- Actually give a damn about people (especially the students helping you get there)
- We usually work with startups from pre-seed to Series C, but the sweet spot is seed to Series A—often right after finishing incubators like YC, OnDeck, A16Z, Afore, or Antler.
If you’re here just looking to outsource tasks or exploit free labor—
this ain’t for you.
But if you’re here to build & co-create (see what we did there?),
welcome home.
What’s the Catch?
Honestly? There isn’t one. Except you need to be ambitious and have a heart for mentorship.
- 10 weeks of working alongside top-tier design, product, and tech talent
- Matched with coaches who’ve shipped at the highest levels
- We only ask for 45 minutes a week, but you’ll probably get hooked and want to dive in more.
- A process designed to push you toward PMF without draining your wallet or sanity
How much does this cost?
$0.
All we ask is simple:
- If you’re hiring—hire the students who crushed it with you (makes sense, right?)
- If you’re not hiring, pay it forward by donating to support future students in the next cohort.
(Ask Johnny—after interviewing from 150 candidates, he realized no one matched the students who already knew his product inside-out. Easy hire.)
What to Expect from a CoCreate Cohort:
- Week 1: We onboard, set goals, and match you with your dream team
- Weeks 2-9: Build, break, iterate, and explore faster than you thought possible
- Week 10: Demo, reflect, and either hire your future team—or at least know you didn’t waste 6 months guessing. Wraps up with an amazing event Irl like this.
Oh, and you’ll probably make some lifelong friends and connections with us along the way.
If this sounds like the kind of structured chaos, creative energy, & product building you want in your startup journey—
let’s chat.
We’re not promising unicorns.
But we are promising momentum.
And sometimes, that’s all you need.
