Ask HN: How do you connect with other founders in your city?

6 pointsleonagano7mo ago2 comments

I’ve noticed it’s surprisingly hard to find and meet other startup founders nearby, unless it’s at a meetup.

I’ve been experimenting with a simple map for founders to see who’s nearby and arrange things like coffee chats or coworking days. Some groups could be filtered (YC alumni, bootstrappers, local accelerators....).

I’m curious to know how you currently meet other founders in your area. Would a tool like this actually be useful, or do you find IRL meetings happening in other ways?

I think a tool like this would be useful.

All of our local startup meetup groups only do online meetings, so something to facilitate in person meetings would be good. I'm looking for a cofounder, but it would also be helpful just to chat with other founders or early startup employees.

meetups would be a good way
