I am a long-time user of CoFoundersLab (from back when it was FounderDating) and honestly.. it has been on a downward spiral for years, changing management 2-3 times over the last 7 years and is now riddled with scams and UX/UI disasters.
Though we are on the infancy of this website, I see StartHawk becoming the top entrepreneur networking site in the world.
What major features would best benefit you as a business owner?

More flexibility when it comes to selecting skill categories. Personally, I'm looking for a Head of Operations for my business idea but none of the categories sufficiently matches that skill.
Having some indication that idea is still active and date of idea posting. I am a new on this website and it is difficult to say what is relevant.
Hi there --
My 2 cents: The profiles are way thin. It's almost impossible to garner someone's skill set or potential match by looking at the profiles. I would force people to submit their LinkedIn URL so we can at least get a somewhat better deep dive of who they are. I really can't tell anything from what's here and the filtering is almost non-existent. Especially for tech stacks.
Hi,
It's looking pretty good... And this question is a good idea. I signed up partly so I could add my two bits to this thread.
1.) You need a top-level nav "about us" ... I had to dig around a bit to find out that you, Brett, are behind this. Good to know. Do say more.
Keep the spam out. Curate, curate, curate.
Ditto the responses above, except part of Jasen's -no LinkedIn please, though the point is very good. It's a tricky balance. More categories for "who I am" and "who I'm looking for" are always good.
There are Tons of businesses in this world. I would like to See more businesses category, more skill category for about me, more categories for what I am looking for.
I would like to see a StartHawk app
Hello Brett! Thank you for asking. I have been on this platform for a couple of hours, and I have enjoyed my experience so far. These are some things that I would like to see:
As I am browsing for business partners and opportunities, I think it would be nice to add a matchmaking feature or an algorithm to help us find who we want. Success stories would increase if there were a way to better relate to what we want.
I love how we make selections and pitch ourselves and wish there were more selections to skillsets and industries. Eventually, I would love to have access to an app, so I have quicker access to respond to inquiries or responses to my own.
I would love to feel like I am experiencing something personal or seamless to my needs as an entrepreneur.
I hope this was helpful! Thank you for the opportunity to post my thoughts!
If you want to make good platform plz don't fee and charges for msg 🙂 and all user use all functionality of your platform
