Collaboration
Finding teammates across African time zones

Collaboration boards, groups, and clear availability beat cold DMs. Here is a lightweight playbook.
Great teams start with clear intent. Vague “looking for co-founder” posts rarely convert.
Make intent explicit
State what you are building, the skills you need, weekly hours, and timezone overlap. Include a Passport link so people can verify you ship.
Use the right surfaces
- Collaboration board for project teammates
- Community groups for niche stacks and cities
- Builder Passport so strangers can evaluate proof quickly
Run a two-week trial
Agree on scope, communication channel, and a demo date before long commitments. Small, reversible experiments beat premature equity talks.
Closing
Ship a thin slice together first. Trust follows completed work.
