About Markubees

1.Vision & Purpose

Vision:A Silicon Valley that one can access from anywhere.

  • •Founders: find co-founders, hires and others to exchange hard-won knowledge with.
  • •Investors: evaluate startups directly without already being present in the room.
  • •Customers: back the products being built before everyone else notices.
  • •Hires: connect with the founders and startups actually building, not just listing openings.

We are building a platform where founders can engage with investors, potential customers, hires and other founders. The density of Silicon Valley without needing to be there.

2.Who We Serve

People who want to build.

Our primary focus is founders. The people doing it. All others on Markubees are here to help them build:

Founders (focus)
Investors
Hires
Organisations (incubators, accelerators, VCs)
Customers

We focus on the act of building not job titles or status.

3.The Current Reality

Building is still too fragmented.

Someone can have ambition and ability but struggle to find the vital components needed to go further:

The right person to talk to
relevant, specific expertise
practical, hard-won knowledge
aligned collaborators
meaningful opportunities
key resources & capital
targeted support

The internet has made information abundant but access to the right people and real-world context is unnecessarily difficult.

4.The Shift

From building to building connected.

“A builder should not have to rely on their existing network, geography or luck to find what they need to move forward.”

We are transforming building from an isolated journey into a connected ecosystem where context and access flow seamlessly.

5.What Markubees Is

Markubees is a website where founders book paid 1:1 sessions with founders and investors. And never have to leave the site to do it.

Sessions are run on our WebRTC system and we take 15% of whatever an expert sets their price as. To find who to book, every founder and startup gets a profile and two directories. People and startups. That let you filter by stage, sector or role.

01Unified builder history

One identity

A profile that represents who someone is, what they are building what they have built and their ongoing journey.

02Connected entities

Organisations

Startups, companies, incubators, communities, firms and support organisations living inside the same connected structure.

031:1 sessions

Access

Direct channels to discover people and draw from their real-world experience and judgment when it matters most.

04Live ecosystem feed

The Hive

Build updates, problems, insights and milestones that create genuine context around work in progress.

* These elements are mechanisms towards the vision, not the vision itself.

6.The Strategic Wedge

Start with founders.

“Founders are the wedge micro-consulting is the mechanism. Get them to book paid 1:1 sessions with each other and everyone else. Investors, hires, customers. Follows to where the founders are.”

Today Markubees works on micro-consulting: any founder can turn on paid 1:1 sessions set their hours and name their price. We take 15% of whatever they charge. This initial product is our wedge into building the broader connected ecosystem.

We cut noise at two levels:

  • •Attention noise: no likes, no comments, no follower counts.
  • •Identity noise: paid access filters out non-serious users before they arrive to the community.

General purpose networks like LinkedIn, AngelList or Product Hunt are built for an audience that run on vanity metrics. A forum gets you a discussion thread. It doesn't get you a 1:1 conversation with a specific person, on-platform, paid or not. Markubees is built for founders. Every interaction is designed to get you talking to a real person. Rather than scrolling.

7.Why It Matters

When more people can build more problems can be solved.

The world does not lack in people with ideas, ambition, skills or problems worth solving. The main bottleneck is rarely information. It is access to the people, knowledge, resources and opportunities that help to turn intent, into action.

Markubees exists to reduce that friction.

8.Long-Term Horizon

From a start to a strong base for builders everywhere.

Markubees starts by fixing an access problem that builders and their ecosystems face.

Over time Markubees keeps an ambition yet it never wavers: Markubees wants to make the tools to build available to everyone everywhere.

9.The Meaning Behind the Name

Philosophical Origin.

Marcus Aurelius

Action

Action without noise. Judgment over performance. Focus on execution than vanity.

Bees

Collective Intelligence

Many people work together in a system that's stronger than any one person.

Markubees:Wisdom meets action.

10.Founding Insight

Built from friction.

Markubees was born from the frustration of trying to reach people who had already solved the exact problems we faced.

“Knowing who to talk to is not the same as being able to talk to them.”

That insight led directly to Markubees's product idea: creating a smooth path that connects builders straight to experienced judgment.
