Our Story
Two founders, one mission: Making startup validation accessible to everyone through AI.
The Beginning of StartupMate
Our journey began when two entrepreneurs, José Pablo Vargas and Abdul, independently recognized a critical gap in the startup ecosystem. Having witnessed countless entrepreneurs invest substantial time and resources into underdeveloped ideas, we shared a common vision: to revolutionize how startups validate their ideas.
In late 2024, José Pablo developed a groundbreaking algorithm that would become the foundation of StartupMate. This innovation caught the attention of Abdul, who had been working on a similar mission. Recognizing their shared vision and complementary skills, they joined forces to create what would become the world's leading AI startup validation platform.
