We're excited to continue our "Cofounder Success Stories" series with another inspiring journey. This time, we're highlighting the brilliant minds behind Orbital Electric Systems: Greg Knox, who has joined Lukasz (Luke) Kosewski and Owen Emry as Chief Revenue Officer after matching with them on our platform. Their innovative company is revolutionizing the future of work vehicles, leveraging cutting-edge electric drivetrains to create robust, efficient, and versatile electric off-road vehicles. Luke, with an impressive background that includes leadership roles at PagerDuty and Netflix, is steering Orbital as CEO. Greg, who recently joined, brings valuable startup experience and a unique strategic perspective from his previous roles in government and tech. Together, they’re working towards launching the Orbital Rev 1 UTV, a game-changing utility vehicle set to hit the market by 2026, with over $12.5 million in future revenue reservations. They are also in the process of finalizing their Series A funding round. Curious about their journey from CoffeeSpace to Series A? Discover how they connected, the challenges they faced, and their vision for the future of electric vehicles. 📌 Link to their full story in the comments. #coffeespace #successstories #startupjourney #entrepreneurship #exploringideas #cofoundermatching

It's an honor to have you in our round, Lin Htet Kyaw! 🙌
I’m excited to join CoffeeSpace as an advisor and investor in their pre-seed round! CoffeeSpace is a rapidly growing platform that connects people looking for cofounders or exploring startup ideas. 💡 Two of their cofounders Hazim Mohamad and Fauzan Reza Maulana have been my long-time friends, and together with Carin Gan, they are three of the most competent, resilient, and genuine people I know. Our bond is strengthened by the fact that we are all international founders trying to make it in the US; coincidentally we are all from Southeast Asia too. 🌏💪 Building my 2nd startup now, I’ve experienced, both personally and through the stories of fellow founders, how challenging it is to find the right co-founder. We often have promising ideas but lack the right partner to validate them with. Since launching 6 months ago, CoffeeSpace has already grown to 6,000+ users and created 7,500+ matches globally. And they are just getting started on their path to $1 million ARR in the next 12-18 months! 🎉 If you’d like to get involved in their round as an investor, please check out their 1-pager in the comment section and feel free to DM me for an intro to the founders anytime. Or if you are simply looking for someone to explore startup ideas with, download their mobile app today! Fauzan Hazim Carin

Excited to share our latest feature on CoffeeSpace by Eqvista! ✨ Our CEO Hazim Mohamad sat down with Neethu Deepu to discuss the story behind CoffeeSpace, our current journey, and our vision for the future.
Finding the right co-founder is crucial for startup success, but it can be daunting. However, this challenge turned out to be an opportunity, inspiring the creation of the platform "CoffeeSpace," a platform that would simplify the process of connecting like-minded individuals who are exploring startup ideas or actively seeking co-founders. The platform is often described as a "Tinder for co-founders," facilitating connections among entrepreneurs and potential collaborators. Are you excited to know the brilliant brain behind this? Meet Hazim Mohamad, Co-Founder and CEO of CoffeeSpace, in this edition of Founder Spotlight.

I'm super proud to share that I'm now an angel investor at CoffeeSpace. CoffeeSpace is a matchmaking app that connects founders looking to build together by complementing skills. I've been investing in companies here and there, but I believe it's the first significant investment in a very early stage company. And how not to invest! I have met Hazim Mohamad, learned about CoffeeSpace plans and team and although ambitious, and being in an early stage, I think the team is doing an excellent job on all the fronts. I can't wait to see what the results of this journey will be 🚀🚀 If you are interested on investing you are still on time, send a DM to Hazim Mohamad to get the ball rolling! #coffeespace #startups
