About Makermap

Makermap

Find the makers you should meet, anywhere in the world

Maker Map (makermap.lol) is an online map where indie makers and founders find each other. We sell sponsored spots on the map, where a product's logo appears on an illustrated boat, plus optional paid profile pins. Customers are charged at checkout and then automatically each month (or each year for pins) until they cancel.
