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.

@leonagano thanks for this cool project!
Nika

So cool! Whenever I plan any trip, I can connect with founders and have a meetup with them! :) Thank you for this! :)

leo nagano

@busmark_w_nika Yes, let's bring more founders onboard and make this map crowded

Nika

@leonagano How did you onboard those people before? Or are they solely from Product Hunt?

leo nagano

@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

Looks pretty cool. Sent mine!

Sam @CRANQ

Moving countries and losing touch with the local founder scene is such a real problem - even just normal mates tbh - 46 founders already on the map is a solid start :)) quite excited to see this community grow

  • Really cool to see how personal experiences shape useful products. Also love that the community can grow this organically.

leo nagano

@irsa_doham hopefully this map will be full of founders!

You really choose the right platform, let's see how much it gets popularity from this. In my opinion, this is quite a useful tool for all product founders and even investors.

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?
leo nagano

@shahriardgm to make this matching system, I need to have more founders I believe. Hopefully we will get there

@maxcomx hey! thank you for the support. You are also sharing on X as I saw before

Hey Leo! It’s super cool. Knowing where builders are located shows political and economic strategies behind. I’m really impressed by that data! Wish you all the best
Dhruv Bhatia

Pretty cool idea! Damn, I'm one of the only founders from Toronto :(

leo nagano

@dhruv_bhatia we need more people from Canada! Let’s bring them in!

Ali Hesari
Launching soon!

very cool! I can know more founders and plan to meet them

leo nagano

@alihesari yes, that's the plan!

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 FoundersAround sounds like such a simple yet powerful idea—exactly what remote and relocating founders need. Love that it's already growing with 46 markers! Can't wait to see this map fill up and spark real-world connections. Cheers from Indonesia! 🌍

I love this ! Very cool 😃. Great idea . Looking forward to adding myself to the map 😊. Congrats on the launch and best of luck!
leo nagano

@simona_o_neill3 thank you! go for it!

Simona O'Neill
@leonagano Already on it ! Thanks . I’m the first and only person on the map who’s based in Ireland 😉
leo nagano

@simona_o_neill3 Yes! Let's bring more people who are based in Ireland!

Nikhil Hingorani

As someone who's looking for cofounders even in a city like new york it's really difficult. This will help make things so much simpler. Looking forward to trying it out.

Amir
Such a brilliant idea! Thanks 🙏

Launching soon!

It would be very nice if there was a social login. Sign in with say LinkedIn and it borrows the authentication (real person verified)

leo nagano

@mubashirullahd why not, why not. Good idea. Let's see if the website gets traction and will add that
