FounderDating

FounderDating was an online network that helped entrepreneurs find co-founders, advisors, and early team members to start companies. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of 500 Global and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub. Enrichment (2026-07-19) confirms FounderDating has been merged into CoFoundersLab: the founderdating.com domain now redirects to cofounderslab.com, a founder-matching and startup-community platform. Neither the legacy FounderDating brand nor the CoFoundersLab successor publishes a public developer API, OpenAPI/Swagger definition, developer portal, SDK/package, or any /.well-known discovery surface, so there are no API artifacts to search, generate, or derive. The founderdating.com host is additionally unreachable over HTTPS (connection times out; DNS points at a parked Tucows IP). This profile is retained as a historical company record rather than an active API provider.

FounderDating is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Startups, Entrepreneurship, Co-Founder Matching, and Founder Network.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/founderdating: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
