Why we are building this

Somewhere, a founder has already solved the problem you are stuck on. Right now, finding them comes down to luck.

Duara puts founders, cities and conversations on one map.

Illustrative screens. Sample founders are invented.

What you get

Everything founders need from other founders.

A founder map

Public profiles by city, region and focus. See what people are building before you say hello.

A short list every week, shaped by your stage, what you need and what you can offer.

05 · Meetups

Meetups and chapters

06 · Intros

Illustrative screens. Sample founders are invented.

How it works

From a pin on the map to a real conversation.

  1. Say what you are building, the city you work from and the areas you care about. Your pin shows the city, never your address.

Built on consent

A few numbers we will not compromise on.

2sides agree

Nobody lands in your inbox uninvited. A conversation starts only when both founders say yes.

1connect a request

Each request uses one connect, and you get it back if they decline or never answer.

0home addresses

Pins show the city you choose, offset so they never point at where you live or work.
