Save Founders from Bad Partnerships!

The problem.
As a 13-year business attorney, I have seen a lot of carnage caused when business partnerships gone bad. Yet the way founders and investors choose teams when starting their new business has never really changed.
Even today, whether meeting online, in a pitch competition or hack-a-thon, or through connections, founders join forces as soon as they meet other people who also love their IDEA for the business! The result of this "traditional" method, however, is that many teams actually know very little about each other before doing the deal.
We believe that's a lot like two people meeting in a bar who both want a house and kids running right out and getting married. But, why would anyone in their right mind jump into what is essentially a "business marriage" knowing so little about each other?
Usually, it's because markets move fast and there's really no TIME to get to know each other well first. Further, it's because there hasn't been a quick, efficient, and cost-effective way learn more about each other--until we created it!

PartnerSimple.com is a set of web-based tools that allow founders, investors, board members, key employees, and other small business teams to learn more about each other faster than thought possible for about the cost of joining an online dating site. There's even a forum where folks pitch ideas and then apply our tools to determine whether they are a good fit before agreeing to team up!
We have launched the main components of the site in mid-May 2014, but there is much more to build. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive service to this vastly underserved group of people, who in turn, fuel our entire economy and whose failure costs this nation countless billions of dollars.
If you or someone you know has suffered from a bad partnership, you too may welcome the existence of these crucial analytics. To help us continue building our site and reach our market will require additional seed capital.
