Hi Team, how are you today? Sharing some quick feedback about Startuply. There is a struggle with looking into founders in the African emerging markets. I submitted 3 visible founders online, and only 1 result came back. What do you think? Is the platform more suited for US domestic founders?

Hey, thanks for sharing this and glad you're here! 😊

This sounds like it could be a bug with the Startuply search results for African emerging market founders. We'll look into it! To help us investigate, it would be useful to know a bit more:

Were the 3 founders you searched for publicly listed on LinkedIn or other professional platforms?
Did you search by name, location, or another filter?

That context will help the team dig into what might be causing the low return rate. And to answer your question, Startuply is not intentionally designed to favor US domestic founders, so something does seem off here.
