Build Your Network connects European founders and entrepreneurs with co-founders, technical partners, mentors, and collaborators in India and globally — through intent-based matching that surfaces the right people, not just the nearest ones.
Build Your Network (BYN) is open to European founders — with worldwide discovery mode that connects you with technical co-founders, mentors, and operators in India and globally. Every profile shows explicit intent: what the person is building, what they need, and whether they are open to remote collaboration. This makes cross-geography connections significantly warmer than cold LinkedIn outreach. Free to join. No install. Operates entirely in English.
India's startup ecosystem is the third-largest in the world — with over 100,000 active startups and a talent pool of 5 million software engineers. European founders building remote-first companies increasingly look to India for technical co-founders, engineering talent, and operator expertise in high-growth markets.
Build Your Network's Worldwide discovery mode lets European founders reach this ecosystem directly — without the noise of LinkedIn or the formality of recruiter-mediated introductions. Every profile you see on BYN shows explicit intent: what the person is building, what they are looking for, and whether they are open to remote collaboration.
The platform operates entirely in English, is free to join, and requires no app install — accessible to European founders from day one.
Three high-value cross-border connections available through worldwide discovery.
India's engineering talent base is unmatched. BYN surfaces technical founders who are actively looking for business or product partners — and are explicitly open to remote-first co-founder relationships.
European founders targeting India or Southeast Asia need local operator partners who understand consumer behaviour at scale. BYN surfaces founders open to cross-border market partnerships.
India has a dense network of founders who have scaled fintech, edtech, SaaS, and consumer internet products to millions of users. BYN surfaces advisors actively open to mentoring international founders.
Three steps to global founder connections — from any European city.
Sign up free and state your intent — co-founder, technical partner, advisor, or collaborator. Your declared goal makes every discovery immediately relevant on both sides.
Set your discovery to Remote or Worldwide to browse founders across India and globally. Filter by skill set, startup stage, and co-founder intent to find the right match.
Both profiles show intent before the first message. Cross-geography connections start with shared purpose — significantly higher response rates than cold international outreach on LinkedIn.
