Find co-founders and build startup groups
Create or join a startup group, match with co-founders, and talk through proposed equity splits.
Free to use. Sign up to join or create a group. EquityTake is not a stock exchange and does not issue shares.
How it works
Three steps from idea to co-founder conversations.
- Create or join a group. Start a startup group around your idea, or browse existing groups and request to join one that fits your skills and interests.
- Match with builders. Connect with potential co-founders inside the group. See what skills each member brings and find the right fit for your team.
- Discuss proposed equity. Talk through proposed equity splits within the group. Numbers are discussion proposals — not legal shares or formal allocations.
Who it's for
EquityTake is built for people at the earliest stage of building something new.
- Solo founders looking for co-founders. You have an idea and need the right people to make it real.
- Builders looking to join a team. You have skills and want to contribute to a startup.
- Early-stage teams forming. You're a small group starting out and want a structured space to discuss who does what and how equity might be split — before anything is formalised.
- People exploring startup ideas. You're curious about startup building and want to see what others are working on. Browse groups freely — no account needed to look around.
Why EquityTake
A focused space for building, not just networking.
- Useful building groups. Every group is centred on a specific idea or venture. Instead of empty networking, you join a group with a purpose — finding co-founders and working through the early questions together.
- Free to use. EquityTake is fully free. Browse groups, create a group, join a group, and discuss proposed equity — no subscription, no paywall, no hidden costs.
- Auth for trust. You can browse groups without signing in. Creating a group, joining a group, and chatting require an account — so every member is a real person, not an anonymous post.
Frequently asked questions
- Is EquityTake free to use?
- Yes. EquityTake is fully free. You can browse, create, and join groups, and discuss proposed equity splits at no cost. There is no subscription or paywall.
- Do I need an account to browse groups?
- No. You can browse all public groups freely without signing in. You only need an account to create a group, join a group, or participate in group discussions.
- Are the equity numbers legal shares?
- No. Equity numbers shown on a group are proposals for discussion only. EquityTake does not issue shares, allocate legal ownership, or incorporate companies. If anyone asks you for funds, shares, or formal incorporation, get independent legal advice first.
- Is EquityTake a stock exchange or investment platform?
- No. EquityTake is a co-founder matching and startup groups platform. It is not a stock exchange, investment platform, or legal incorporation service. The equity discussions are non-binding proposals to help teams talk through ownership before formalising anything.
- How does co-founder matching work?
- Create or join a group around a startup idea. Inside the group, you can see other members' skills and interests. From there, you can connect directly and discuss whether you'd make a good co-founder team.
- Can I discuss a startup equity split before incorporating?
- Yes — that's exactly what the proposed equity feature is for. Team members can suggest equity splits and discuss them openly within the group. These are non-binding proposals to help you align before spending money on legal incorporation.
