“Builders don’t lack ambition. They lack a map of who is already funding, hosting and building the thing right next to them.”
Finding opportunities, as builders do it today, is broken. Funds, fellowships, grants and events are scattered across thousands of sites, newsletters and group chats, and the people worth meeting sit behind a warm intro. The result is luck: whoever happens to know the right person gets the check, the seat or the stage.
FounderDex is building the map for that: one layer between you and the whole ecosystem.
It finds. It connects. It remembers. It learns what you are building and shows you who is already around it.
01How it works
A new layer for builders.
FounderDex sits between you and every public source of opportunity.
-
The idea
Opportunity should find you.
The ecosystem is too big to search by hand. You set what you are building and where; the map should surface the funds, programs and people that fit.
-
The graph
A graph that remembers.
At its core is a living graph of founders, funds, programs and events. Every place is linked to who backed it, who runs it and where it is, and Ask answers from it with sources.
-
The sources
Everyone else lists. We connect.
Directories stop at a list. FounderDex reads public registries, fund portfolios, event calendars and open data, credits each one and refreshes the map every hour.
02The dashboard
Your whole ecosystem, in one workspace.
The 3D memory graph, the opportunity network, the atlas and your founder decks, side by side.

04FAQ
Building with the map.
What builders ask before trusting FounderDex.
Where does the data come from?
From public sources only: company registries, fund portfolios, event calendars, program pages and open data. Every place keeps a link to where it came from, and the sources are credited in the privacy policy.
FounderDex started in Latin America with one question: where are the opportunities for people who build? Today it maps them worldwide.
How fresh is the map?
The map is rebuilt from its sources every hour, and the app and the dashboard read the same data. New funds, programs and events show up without anyone adding them by hand.
Can I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. The same data is open to any MCP client, read only and with no key.

Yes. Request removal and we act within 72 hours.
