LOOKING FOR A CO-FOUNDER?

I speak to so many founders who are searching for a co-founder, so I thought - why not bring everyone together, spotlight their search, and support them beyond our 1:1 conversations?

That’s why I created In Search of the One… Co-Founder Edition - a dedicated co-founder jobs board where you can:

  • Browse live co-founder opportunities posted by founders actively looking for their partner-in-business

  • Get clear on what you need and assess co-founder fit before you commit, using my free resources to define your ideal co-founder profile and evaluate whether someone is the right match

  • Set things up properly with my ready-to-use co-founder agreement template - covering the legal and relational essentials you need for any successful partnership

Sarah Mensah is looking for a Co-Founder for Kore

"Kore is a co-working and education space for hair and beauty professionals, with a special focus on textured and cross-cultural hair and beauty for all.

The hair and beauty industry is still not inclusive - too many stylists can’t confidently work with every hair type, and Kore is here to fix that. We mix training, workspace and business support to help people - especially women from underrepresented backgrounds - build careers in hair and beauty.”

  • “Kore has grown beyond what one person can do alone. The next step is about structure, funding, and scale - and I’m looking for someone who can lead the fundraising journey while I keep building the brand, the education side, and the creative direction.

    This isn’t just about business; it’s about changing how the beauty industry sees textured and multicultural hair - and I need someone who’s just as hungry to make that impact.”

  • ”I’m looking for a values-driven, ambitious, and strategic co-founder - someone who knows how to build systems, manage finances, and get funding. You don’t have to come from hair beauty, but you should care about representation, inclusion, and empowering people to work for themselves.

    If you’re someone who can bring structure where I bring creativity, we’ll balance each other perfectly.”

  • “The plan is clear:
    • Secure investment to relaunch Kore’s new home
    • Expand into accredited training for hair and beauty professionals
    • Build a digital platform for online learning and bookings
    • Grow Kore into a national brand for inclusive beauty
    With the right co-founder, we can build a business that not only makes money, but changes the culture of hair and beauty for good.”

Natalia Pazzaglia is looking for a Co-Founder for Legacy Compass

"Legacy Compass is a platform and a community to help navigate loss, to make sure that nobody faces the illness or loss of a loved one feeling alone, unequipped and lost. It's deeply personal to me, as I started it after losing my mum.”

  • “I’m looking for a co-founder to turn research and behavioural insights into scalable product and commercial strategy. Someone positive, grounded, and able to challenge me - bringing structure, pace, and clarity while working in an emotionally complex space.”

  • “My skills are in the human side of the problem: I am a storyteller and a connector. I have built trust with stakeholders and business partners, while creating a trusted brand and an engaged community. Now, I'm looking for help to translate that into a scalable product and business. I need somebody with experience in product design, that wants to help me shape our commercial vision and design our products.”

  • “There’s a lot of research and insight ready to be turned into products. I’d love to build this with someone who can help shape the right tools, test quickly, and bring product thinking to define what we create and how we grow.”

  • “Needs to be London based, willing to work for equity on a part time based (one day per week in person)”

  • "One of the biggest breakthroughs was learning to work through difficult conversations rather than avoiding them - this shift has been truly transformative.

    Now, I feel much more in tune with my own feelings about the partnership, I listen to them more, and as a result, I feel more fulfilled and intentional in how we work together.

    Nicki’s coaching style was exactly what we needed - she knew when to step back and let things play out while also offering thoughtful guidance, support, and moments for reflection.

    This was an incredibly important investment in our partnership - one that has benefited both our business and me personally. I wholeheartedly recommend the process and Nicki’s coaching, and I have no doubt that I’ll work with her again."

    Frances Cottrell-Duffield, Co-Founder of Tonic Studio

  • “Nicki has been instrumental in the significant growth that my company has enjoyed. The impact on my company and in fact my life has been huge. 

    Nicki has given me confidence and belief in my role and as a result she has made me a better mentor and leader. She has also empowered me to really enjoy my success at growing the company and has given me the tools to keep growing and building on this success.

    Our company and team are now thriving and this is in no small part due to the exceptional coaching that Nicki provides to me, to my senior leaders and to my whole team. 

    I cannot recommend Nicki highly enough and your business and you as a leader will be in safe hands.”

    Julia Linehan, CEO, The Digital Voice

  • “I worked with Nicki during the very early days of building my venture, and it was one of the best decisions I made.

    Nicki’s expertise as a coach and her empathy proved invaluable at a critical stage of development. She had a tremendous ability to ask the right questions and offer actionable strategies, keeping us accountable at every stage of the process.

    For any entrepreneur, especially those in the formative stages of building something meaningful, I cannot recommend working with Nicki enough.”

    Leonardo Zussner, Zinc cohort Co-Founder

  • “Nicki is an exceptional coach who transformed a challenging founder exit into a positive journey.

    What felt like the end of the world on our first meeting, turned into a very strong and empowered deal by the last one.

    Her rare ability to illuminate blind spots and connect them to actionable steps is truly invaluable.

    She helped me navigate complex feelings, build up a confident negotiation position, and provided invaluable emotional support while maintaining focus on root causes. She is also an absolute delight as a person!”
