After the Good Glamm breakup, Darpan Sanghvi launches CoFounder Circle

Good Glamm Group founder Darpan Sanghvi has launched CoFounder Circle, an AI-native acceleration platform for startups and MSMEs.

As per Sanghvi’s LinkedIn post, the platform will bring together co-founders, team members, interns, fractional operators, service providers, vendors, AI-powered tools, mentors, incubators, and investors into one ecosystem. 

Unlike traditional accelerators, CoFounder Circle is designed as an AI-native platform, with technology integrated across every layer of company building. According to a post on LinkedIn, 50% of its equity is reserved for the community, including employees, mentors, and even former Good Glamm stakeholders, as part of Sanghvi’s restitution initiative. The platform has already opened a waitlist for startups looking to access incubation, mentorship, and investor demo days.

This comes months after Sanghvi announced the breakup of Good Glamm Group in a candid LinkedIn post, calling its hyper-expansion “too much, too fast, too big.” The content-to-commerce unicorn, once valued at $1.2 billion, was dismantled as lenders enforced brand-wise sales across its portfolio, including MyGlamm, POPxo, Sirona, and ScoopWhoop. 

At the time, Sanghvi admitted that unchecked momentum had overwhelmed the company and pledged to create a restitution fund to make stakeholders whole.

With CoFounder Circle, Sanghvi is attempting a second act, this time by building an ecosystem at the “intersection of AI, business, capital, and community.”
