Founder maps & directories

A directory of the directories: find solo founders, see what they build, and put them on the map.

Different approaches

Great minds keep building ways to find each other. justbuild.it starts with builders in Germany; Maker Map and I am Solo put founders on a map; founder.page connects founder profiles with their projects; FellowMakers explores what people are building and the ideas they share. There is also a separately recorded map of German founder introductions. Browse the projects below, then meet the people making them.

What brings them together: Maps and browsable directories that connect founder profiles with locations or the projects they build.
Outside this wave: Founder communities or live matchmaking without a founder directory; launch directories focused on products rather than their makers.
