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 really cool people.
Now, I'm back to my home country, after 8 years abroad, and again, I don't know how are the founders living close to me that I could potentially meet.
That's why I decided to build FoundersAround.com
There are already 46 founders on the map.
I feel that PH founders can make this map explode with markers and motivate people to meet in real life.
Really like the concept of connecting founders in a focused and supportive space. Is there any matching system based on industry or startup stage to make the networking even more meaningful?

@rahimwws thank you!
@leonagano Cool project. By the way, are you referring to Google Campus? I used to love working there!
FoundersAround
@martin_rue yes! Bonhill St if I’m not wrong
It was a cool place
@leonagano It was! It was so cool to be able to drop into a place and know you'd be working around tons of other people chasing the same dreams.

@leonagano, this is really great information. Appreciate your time to build great networks of founders.

So cool! Whenever I plan any trip, I can connect with founders and have a meetup with them! :) Thank you for this! :)
FoundersAround
@busmark_w_nika Yes, let's bring more founders onboard and make this map crowded

@leonagano How did you onboard those people before? Or are they solely from Product Hunt?
FoundersAround
@busmark_w_nika I manually outreached them.

I’m not sure if this is by design or a bug. If it’s by design, I’m really shocked

@shahriardgm to make this matching system, I need to have more founders I believe. Hopefully we will get there
Pretty cool idea! Damn, I'm one of the only founders from Toronto :(
