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 provide the tools to help make those partnerships stronger?

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 help you 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 contracting you need to get started with clarity and confidence

CO-FOUNDER JOBS BOARD

Kicking off with the awesome Danielle Wallington, looking for a Co-Founder for Mums Building Companies 👏


THE BUSINESS IN A NUTSHELL
"Mums Building Businesses is all about creating a space that supports founders who happen to be parents. It’s about connecting, sharing experiences, and helping each other build businesses while raising the next generation. Right now, we’re hosting events, building a network, and figuring out the best ways to help parent-founders thrive.”

WHY I WANT A CO-FOUNDER
“I need someone to be my partner in this adventure. Someone who can complement my big-picture, creative energy with strong organisation, attention to detail, and a love for getting things done. I want a teammate I can bounce ideas off, share the wins and challenges with, and build this community alongside.”

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR IN A PARTNER
”I’m looking for someone organised, proactive, and reliable. Someone who loves people, loves building community, and gets that this is about more than just business, it’s about supporting each other and building something meaningful. Positive, resilient, and ready to roll up their sleeves.”

THE ROAD AHEAD
Next, we want to grow the community, host more events, and connect parent-founders in ways that really matter. Long-term, I want Mums Building Businesses to be a thriving ecosystem where people can build their businesses, support each other, and raise the future at the same time.

KNOW SOMEONE WHO’D BE A GREAT FIT? MESSAGE DANIELLE

  • "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!”
