TalentQL, a network of vetted African developers, has introduced Bubble, a first-of-its-kind “Tinder for Co-Founders” platform. Bubble not only pairs developers with potential co-founders but also goes further by assisting developers in testing their technical skills and guiding them through the entire development process.
Unlike other programs such as the YC co-founder initiative, Bubble focuses on rigorous vetting, ensuring a high-calibre match for both developers and entrepreneurs. This platform has quickly become a game-changer, helping 50+ companies globally bring their startup ideas to life since its launch in January 2021.
The CEO of TalentQL, Adewale Yusuf, tweeted on X, “We’ve finally built the first Tinder for Co-Founder platform… A fast platform that pairs you with your potential co-founder. We also take it a step further; we help you test their technical skills too. And we work with you from the beginning to the end.”
The unique strength of technical co-founders lies in their unparalleled depth of expertise, transforming startup visions into top-quality products. These co-founders are known for their efficient problem-solving abilities and offer analytical precision and innovative solutions.
Bubble’s co-founder matching process is both efficient and effective. Leveraging advanced algorithms and a stringent vetting system, the platform presents developers with co-founder candidates that align with their criteria. This not only saves time but also ensures a well-matched partnership.
Moreover, the platform’s co-founders bring industry-specific insights, and an understanding of market trends, challenges, and nuances. This wealth of experience enables developers to build a robust team of experts, fostering informed and strategic decision-making throughout the development journey.
In a world where collaboration is key to success, Bubble, TalentQL’s “Tinder for Co-Founders” stands out as a catalyst for innovation, connecting skilled developers with visionary entrepreneurs to bring exceptional ideas to fruition.

TalentQL’s impact: Job creation and economic prosperity
Speaking of startup development, TalentQL serves not just as a matchmaker but as a driver of job creation and economic growth.
Fostering startups through its platform, TalentQL becomes a catalyst for employment opportunities. As these startups blossom, they naturally create diverse roles, from software developers to project managers, contributing to job market expansion.
The ripple effect extends to economic growth, with TalentQL-groomed startups becoming key players in local and global markets. These ventures generate revenue, attract investments, and contribute to the overall economic stability of the regions they operate in.
The talent development company strikes a balance between stability and innovation. While fostering job creation brings economic stability, the innovative nature of startups ensures ongoing dynamism, adaptability, and forward-looking progress.
Beyond job creation, it also empowers entrepreneurs. As individuals bring their visions to life, they not only create jobs but also enrich the diversity and resilience of their local economies.
Bubble, a step toward embracing collaboration over unhealthy competition
Collaboration over unhealthy competition in Africa suggests a focus on cooperation and mutual support rather than engaging in detrimental rivalries. It implies a preference for working together to achieve common goals and fostering positive relationships among individuals, communities, or nations on the continent. This approach can lead to sustainable development and shared prosperity.
A Tinder-like platform for African co-founders like Bubble could promote collaboration by connecting entrepreneurs with complementary skills and interests. By facilitating partnerships, this platform encourages individuals to join forces, share resources, and work together on business ventures. This collaborative approach fosters a supportive ecosystem, steering away from unhealthy competition and promoting collective growth within the African entrepreneurial community.
Imagine a platform where African entrepreneurs can create profiles highlighting their skills, expertise, and business interests. Much like Tinder, users can swipe through potential co-founders based on compatibility. The emphasis would be on finding synergies and forming partnerships rather than solely focusing on individual success.
The platform could include features like project collaboration spaces, forums for idea exchange, and networking events, fostering a community-driven approach to entrepreneurship. This encourages collaboration over cutthroat competition, ultimately contributing to a more interconnected and mutually supportive business environment in Africa.
