24 alternatives to FoundersAround
Well, when I moved to another country (UK) I felt super lost. Who were the founders living here? What do they do? I ended up going to a Google coworking space over there and met some cool people. Now, I'm back in my home country, after 8 years abroad, and again, I don't know who are the founders living close to me that I could potentially meet. That's why I decided to build FoundersAround.com A simple map where founders can pin themselves. Meet other founders living nearby. Check in when travelling and meet founders over there.

Hi Guys, I got overwhelming support and feedback from my last post about secondfounder.com but still, I felt the need of connecting founders together so that they can together buy a side project. It's very often when a non-technical founder buys a project they have to find a technical founder to take that project further. Today I have implemented this feature in secondfounder.com Link: https://secondfounder.com/find-founder Your feedback is always welcome. Thanks

I made this for people like myself who keep a list of ideas for apps / startups. I also made it for people who are curious to see what projects others have "in their drawer"... and who may want to have a say in which idea should see the light of day. https://ideas.dynamate.io/ The site allows creators to anonymously showcase their idea: Title. Description text. Maybe some mockups... I've tried to make it so that it's quick and easy to just dump an idea in there that's been sitting on some list of yours for months - and hopefully get some feedback on it. If someone else on…

FoundersWall▲35I used to be just a blogger. Now I build internet products, still without code, using AI, design, and taste. I was building in public on X for last 2 months. And honestly, I got tired of how it became performative and started to feel fake. I shipped 2 products. Both failed to get any real traction. I kept sneaking into popular builders’ profiles, hoping to learn how they do it. One thing I kept seeing everywhere, product launch directories. I thought here is the scope. So I started building one. Same UI like the rest. Nothing special. Suddenly one day when it was half built, I realized…

Hey HN, I built this tool that maps out every YC company worldwide. You can zoom into cities, explore clusters, and click to see details like batch, location, and website. Why I made it? I thought it’d be fun to visualise it, using the same infrastructure I already use in my other project: FoundersAround Some things I’m still improving: • Improve performance • More filters (industries, stages, etc). Would love your feedback. https://yc.foundersaround.com

Made in Everywherefree▲4I built Made in...Everywhere, a map where founders can pin their companies and show where they're "being made". The idea is simple: Add your company Add your location See other products near you Explore companies around the world Current stats: - 360+ companies - Founders from dozens of countries - Completely free to join ps.: I'm fixing some products, as this data comes from another product I launched last year (FA) and some products might be off. I'd love feedback on what would make you come back regularly?
