Elia calls it "one of the most important process in a startup." At EF in Paris "they celebrate break up" so you don't lose time — he met around 60 people in three days. The YC co-founder matching platform is described as "like a dating platform... like a tinder or Bumble."

Elia joined EF, Entrepreneur First, in Paris last year — "a program like to do co founder matching." The mechanic: "you try to match with people... and after you have to see if you match or not on the topic on the professional side on the personal side." What stood out: "there it's super funny because they celebrate break up so it means that when you break... you don't lose time, you need to figure this out super fast." He was "trying very hard, like I met I think like 60 people in like three days," but couldn't find anyone "in the same mentality as me which is like super hardcore mentality, like I want to work seven days of the week." On the YC co-founder matching platform "they were all amazing people," but "it's like a dating platform, it's like a tinder or Bumble" where you need both a personal connection and to know how the person actually works.
