   FoundersAround▲445

   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.
