"You've tried freelancers who disappear. Agencies who don't care. LinkedIn connects who ghost you. The right co-creator changes everything — but they're almost impossible to find alone."
01
Freelancers ship features, not recurring revenue
You need a partner with skin in the game — rev-share aligned, long-term committed. A contractor ships to spec and walks away. A co-creator builds to earn every month.
02
Your network doesn't reach the right builders
The senior engineers you need are already employed, well-paid, and selective. They don't answer cold LinkedIn messages. They respond to a compelling domain + a curated intro.
03
No way to verify who you're actually meeting
Anyone can write a good LinkedIn profile. Without verified track record, proof of past co-builds, and background checks — you're meeting blind. One bad co-founder costs you a year.
The process

Three steps to your
co-creator

No recruiter fees. No cold outreach. Just a curated, score-verified browse — and a warm intro when you're ready. Rev-share only. No equity.

Request a curated intro
When you're ready to meet someone, request an intro. Knowu facilitates a warm, two-way introduction — both sides have opted in. No cold messages, no ghosting.
Free: 3 intros/month
A different kind of platform

No pitch decks. No dilution.
Just recurring revenue.

Most co-founder platforms are built for startups — one big exit, VC fundraising, and equity splits that get complicated fast. Knowu is built for something different: multiple sustainable businesses that generate recurring monthly income.

Instead of
Equity that may never pay out
You get
Rev-share that pays every month
Instead of
One big bet on one startup
You get
Multiple sustainable income streams
Instead of
VC timelines and board pressure
You get
Your own pace, your own terms
"No equity. No dilution. No VC. Just you, your co-creator, and a product that earns."
Real demand, real matches

People are already

"Been building a B2B invoicing tool for 6 months, $800 MRR, but I'm non-tech. Can't afford to hire. Need a technical co-creator who wants recurring rev-share, not a paycheck."

"Solo founder, built a no-code HR onboarding tool. Got 3 pilot customers but enterprise sales is a black box to me. Need someone who's closed deals with HR teams before."

The trust layer

Not just a profile.
A Knowu Score.
