TLDR: Entrepreneur Darpan Sanghvi has launched CoFounder Circle, an AI-native acceleration platform designed to help startups and MSMEs build faster and smarter by integrating community, capital, and AI-powered tools through its proprietary RACE AI Stack.
Entrepreneur Darpan Sanghvi announced the launch of CoFounder Circle, an AI-native acceleration platform for Startups & MSMEs. Darpan started CoFounder Circle with a simple mission: to make entrepreneurship accessible and help founders build faster and smarter by bringing together community, capital and AI.
CoFounder Circle is powered by its proprietary RACE AI Stack, a framework for Research, Advisory, Connection, and Execution that helps entrepreneurs go beyond insights to action. RACE AI is built to deliver outcomes, not just advice.
CoFounder Circle brings to entrepreneurs the 5 things that Darpan has identified every business needs, in one place:
- People: Founders can match with cofounders, team members, interns, and fractional operators
- Partners: Founders can access service providers, suppliers, distributors, and agencies
- Tools: Founders can use AI-powered SaaS tools and Agents for operations
- Mentors & Incubators: Founders get incubated by top mentors in exchange for sweat equity
- Investors: Founders can raise equity or working capital through a trusted, intelligent funding network
Flagship initiatives such as Pitch Tank, Build Packs, and the AI-powered Startup OS enable founders to validate ideas, assemble teams, and accelerate from concept to launch. Its barter marketplace and consumer engagement tools allow startups to access critical resources and convert early users into stakeholders, even without large upfront capital.
Commenting on the launch, Darpan Sanghvi, Founder of CoFounder Circle said “I started my first company at the age of 20. My entrepreneurial journey of the last 25 years has been one of incredible highs and lows. With CoFounder Circle, my mission is to take those learnings and create a platform that equips founders with the tools, ecosystem, and capital to build stronger, more resilient businesses. Generative AI is unlocking a whole new wave of entrepreneurship, and CoFounder Circle is designed to ensure these founders have every chance to succeed without losing focus, control, or their moral compass.”
50% of CFC’s equity will be allocated to the community, including CoFounder Circle employees, ecosystem members, and ex-stakeholders of Good Glamm, ensuring that those who contribute to the platform’s growth also share directly in its success. Additionally, 100% of free cash flow above 20% profit after tax will be reinvested into startups on the platform, creating a self-fueling ecosystem.
Entrepreneurs can sign up for early access to incubation programs and the chance to present at CoFounder Circle’s Demo Day by joining the waitlist at www.cofoundercircle.ai.
