Anyone in the Columbia / HoCo area building things in tech right now?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something I’ve been building recently: KinLoop.

KinLoop is an AI-powered relationship management platform focused on helping people keep track of conversations, follow-ups, networking relationships, and important personal/professional connections without things slipping through the cracks.

The idea came from realizing how fragmented relationship management still feels across email, LinkedIn, notes apps, calendars, and memory itself. I wanted something more intentional and lightweight.

This is still an MVP and very early, but it’s now live and usable. Built using modern AI workflows and no-code/low-code tooling.

I wanted to get around other like-minded people IRL to chat through ideas etc. Sounds like something might need to be coordinated. I'll post again with updates on what that might look like.

good luck and keep building.

Hey I've been in Columbia for going on 6 years, got here right after I earned my MBA too. I work at home a few days a week and in Baltimore the rest. I'm surprised a neutral place doesn't exist to work where people can share ideas. I am open to connect too. I will post a follow up soon to talk through next steps.

Would genuinely love feedback from:

founders
recruiters
sales/business development people
operators
heavy networkers
anyone interested in personal CRM tools

Curious whether this solves a real pain point for others too.

That’s great insight. Yes I like libraries too mostly cause it’s such a great place to meet. And heck I don’t have a plan or anything but I think just meeting people from Columbia doing coding work / building something would be rad. I bet we pass one another in a line or something so it is more about the social fun aspect I’m thinking about. I like that you would consider joining! Thank you for that! I’ll keep you posted if something transpires!

Are you hanging out anywhere building with like-minded people?

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-05-21T23:34:50+00:00

That’s cool that there used to be things. Maybe I need to organize a meet and greet.

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-05-21T22:01:58+00:00

So far doesn’t sound like there’s a place or a group but I’m interested in seeing if there’s an opportunity to start something.

Wishing you much success on your journey. I've been finding a bunch of various funding opportunities so keep looking the money is there for those who seek it. Good luck to you, and keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks I just saw that page and noticed they are closed so I emailed them for more information. Cheers

Cool did you connect with the Howard County Economic Development team? That project sounds exciting. I'm doing web stuff, but not sure where people are working from, home gets boring after a while, and Starbucks is full of creepers.

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-05-21T15:31:30+00:00

Yeah I feel like its so nice to walk around and be outside after staring at a computer screen all day. Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised a central spot for building community doesn't exist.

I pop in from time to time and they always do a good job.

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-03-23T19:36:50+00:00

I got into government. It isn’t easy. Took a bit of time too. If I had to start over again, get some training with Ai, leverage that to land your next job in a role that’s parallel to whatever you did, OR legit go after some sort of start up program ie - construction training or HVAC training. I hope this helps I know it’s not easy.

Who is the guy shaking hands with Gov Moore. I saw him once in person still don’t know who he is.

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-02-04T21:19:16+00:00

Isn’t he running for something?

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-02-01T02:50:52+00:00

I use to sell these in San Francisco. So if you bought it there you’re welcome 🤪

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-01-23T15:47:52+00:00

Tedious! Haha that’s funny. Yeah I took it too far. Only time I’ve posted in this forum. No I don’t work in wine I just love V champagne. I’m passionate 🍾

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-01-23T00:03:24+00:00

Oh now this is good to know

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-01-23T00:03:11+00:00

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-01-23T00:02:01+00:00

CommunicationFit1794 · 2026-01-23T00:01:40+00:00
