Build Your Network connects UK-based founders with technical co-founders, engineers, mentors, and operators in India through intent-based worldwide matching — both sides declare goals before the first message.
Build Your Network (BYN) is open to UK founders — with Worldwide discovery mode connecting you to India's technical co-founders, domain mentors, and startup operators. Every profile shows declared intent — what the person is building, what they need, and whether they're 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 is the world's third-largest startup ecosystem — with over 5 million software engineers, a thriving founder community across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad, and a deep talent pool in fintech, SaaS, and deep tech. For UK founders building remote-first companies, India offers technical co-founding partnerships that combine world-class engineering with significant cost advantages.
London's startup scene (Europe's largest by VC funding) has a long history of India connections — many UK startups have Indian co-founders or engineering teams. Build Your Network formalises this connection through intent-based matching: UK founders can find Indian technical co-founders who have explicitly declared they are open to remote partnerships, without needing a warm introduction or a London startup event to make the connection.
The platform operates entirely in English, is free to join, and requires no app install — accessible from any UK location from day one.
Three high-value connections available through worldwide discovery.
India produces world-class engineers across full-stack, AI/ML, fintech, and deep tech. BYN surfaces technical founders actively seeking business or product co-founders for remote-first startups.
UK founders targeting India or Southeast Asia need local operator partners. BYN surfaces founders explicitly open to cross-border market partnerships — with their intent visible upfront.
India has a deep bench of operators who have scaled fintech, SaaS, and consumer products to hundreds of millions of users. BYN surfaces advisors actively open to mentoring international founders.
Three steps from UK to India co-founder conversations.
Sign up free and declare your intent — co-founder, technical partner, advisor, or collaborator. Your goal is visible to every founder you connect with.
Set discovery to Remote or Worldwide to see founders across India and globally. Filter by skill set, startup stage, and intent.
Both profiles show intent before the first message. Cross-geography connections start with shared purpose — dramatically higher response rates than cold LinkedIn outreach.
