Remote BuildersFind a founder community that fits you
Answer four quick questions and get a short list from the 498 founder communities we've compared, with why each one fits, its price and the day we last checked it.
How matches are chosen
The finder only uses what's in our comparison table, where each row comes from the community's own website and shows the day we read it.
- Your region, format and budget filter the list. A community stays in if it's in your region or doesn't name one, runs in the format you picked, and, if you asked for free only, says on its own page that it's free or has a free tier. A community that doesn't publish a price isn't counted as free.
- In person has to be said. Words like in person, meetups or dinners count anywhere. Coworking, workshops or a hub only count for a community tied to one region, and plain "events" only for one in a city's section, because plenty of those run online. If a row doesn't make it clear, we leave it out of in person.
- So does online. Online, virtual, webinars or Zoom count, and so does a Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram or forum website unless the community already meets in a room, where a chat is only an extra. A newsletter or a members' portal doesn't count, and "peer forums" are small groups, not websites. Peer groups have to be said too. If a row doesn't make it clear, we make no claim.
- What you run sets the points. 3 points if who it's for mentions what you run, 2 if it's in that section of our table, and 1 if it's open to founders in general. Communities aimed at a different kind of business drop out. So do ones for one group or sector, such as women founders or fintech founders, because we don't ask about those. Under "Not sure, or something else" nothing drops out at this step, but only communities open to founders in general get the point, so ones aimed at one kind of business, group or sector usually rank below them and rarely reach the short list. If you're after one of those, use the links below.
- A few extras decide the rest. 2 points if it's in your region and 1 if it doesn't name one, plus 1 if it's free and you said free first. Ties go to the most recently checked, then A to Z.
We don't convert prices or guess at a monthly cost. They're in each community's own currency, and some charge per ticket, some per month and some per year, so the list shows each price as it was published.
Remote Builders and Bali Startup & Tech are ours. They're marked "(ours)" and get no extra points, and we never put one of them first. We choose the sections in our own table, so being listed in one earns them nothing: for what you run, they only ever get the 1 point for being open to founders in general.
Prices and entry rules change, so check a community's own page before you apply.

Questions
- What happens to my answers?
- They stay in this browser tab. The finder runs on your device, sends your answers nowhere and saves nothing, so they're gone when you close the tab.
- Does Remote Builders rank itself higher?
- No. Remote Builders and Bali Startup & Tech are ours. They're marked "(ours)", only ever get the 1 point for being open to founders in general on what you run, even where we list them in a section, and we never put one of them first.
- Why isn't this ranked by quality or size?
- We can't check either from outside. A community's own member count can't be verified, and whether one is good depends on your stage. So the finder only uses what each community says about itself.
