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.

I made a simple platform to find founders and buy side-projects▲80
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
