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.
Check in on the map with what you’re working on.
Decide who to share it with. Everyone else does the same, so the map fills in with people worth sitting near.
Plan a co-work or put an event on the map.
“We should” stops dying in the chat. Keep it to your people, or open it up and let the right ones find you.
Build a network of ambitious people.
Connect in more ways than you’d expect: the map, an event, what someone’s building, what they need, an introduction. Not names you collect, people you can sit down and build with.
Use a chat purpose-built for all of it.
Everything you’re in has its own conversation. Split a few people into a sidebar the rest never see, and switch off the small talk while everything that matters, like plans and events, still reaches you.

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.
