The in-person network for the startup community

See who’s near you and what they’re working on. Plan co-works. Coordinate events. Meet the people you should.

One tap, and your work day has company.

Check in when you sit down. Your face lands on the map with what you’re building, and your connections see it live.

  • See who’s within a few blocks, and what they’re working on.
  • Get found for what you’re building.
  • A check-in is an open seat at your table.

Turn “we should” into a time and a place.

Plan a co-work or put an event on the map. People join with one tap.

  • Paste a link and the event is on the map for the people you choose.
  • See who’s in before you go.
  • Plan a good co-work again with one tap.

Meet the people you should.

Every profile says what someone is working on, what they’re looking for, and what they can help with.

  • At an event, everyone who checked in is one list. Tap Connect down it.
  • Introduce two people from either profile. The chat opens with their work in it.
  • No feed, no followers. A connection is two people who said yes.

Big chats that feel small.

Chat with a connection, a group, or everyone at a co-work or event.

  • A board of everything shared. Nothing scrolls away.
  • Pull one person into a sidebar. The group never sees it.
  • Mute the chatter, keep co-works, events and polls.

Working for yourself was never meant to mean working by yourself.

Most founders and freelancers now work remote and alone, with no office to walk into. The numbers on what that costs, and on what being around people gives back.

more likely to go a whole day without seeing anyone, if you work remotely and live alone.

1 in 3

of the rise in mental distress in the US since 2011 comes down to the rise of remote work.

What it gives back
A full point higher

on a 7-point thriving scale, for people in co-working spaces compared with employees in regular offices.

Spreitzer, Bacevice and Garrett, Harvard Business Review, Sept 2015
20 million

people were in a five-year LinkedIn experiment. It found that new jobs come through weaker ties, the people you know a little, more than through close friends.

In person

pairs come up with more ideas face to face than over video. A screen narrows your focus.

Fair questions.

Nobody I know is on it.

True today, and on purpose. Everyone here was brought in by someone already here. Ask a member for a code.

I don’t want to broadcast where I am.

You don’t. A check-in goes to your connections, and wider only when you choose. It ends when you leave.

I already have a co-working space.

Keep it, and check in from there. You already sit near people all day. Kahui is how you find out what they're working on, and how the right ones find you.

Invite only, for now.

Everyone on the map was brought in by someone already here. Know a member? Ask them for a code. Don’t? Write to us and say what you’re working on. We read every one, and we answer.
