Create a mandate describing what you need and what you offer. OpenMandate finds stronger-fit cofounders and early teammates beyond your network, with structured intake, mutual approval, and match review tools.

How it works
- Describe what you're looking for and what you bring
- Structured intake sharpens your mandate
- Ongoing matching evaluates every other mandate against yours
- When there's strong fit, both sides get notified
- Mutual approval before contact info is shared
