50,000+ matches. 1.8M swipes. $1M pre-seed.
In 2025, CoffeeSpace didn’t just help founders meet cofounders – we helped them build founding teams. As we step into 2026, we just want to pause and say how grateful we are for everything this team, and this community, brought to life over the past year.
2025 felt like a real turning point. Not just in metrics, but in clarity of mission. A few moments that stood out:
