Runiuni is a local-first network for creators.
Founded by Sebastian Colon, Runiuni exists to help creators build real networks from the bottom up, city by city.
I had the idea at 16 as a Spotify artist and producer. Finding local collaborators and shows was harder than it should have been, and global feeds made local talent feel invisible.
This is the third iteration of Runiuni, rebuilt from scratch with a focus on local discovery, creator collaboration, and AI-supported organization.
The vision
- 1Clickable map layers from country to neighborhood.
- 2Regional leaderboards that highlight local impact.
- 3Creator discovery that starts nearby, not global first.
Founder note
Runiuni is built for creators who want real local momentum. If you are building a scene, I want to hear from you.
What Runiuni does today
A creator-first network designed to make local connections feel real.
Local-first discovery
Find creators, events, and communities near you before you ever have to fight a global feed.
Real creator circles
Build collectives, plan shows, and turn nearby creators into collaborators instead of strangers.
One home for your presence
Aggregate your creative footprint and let AI help organize discovery without replacing the human connection.
Why Runiuni exists
I was 16, releasing music on Spotify and trying to find other creators nearby to collaborate and perform with. The talent was there, but finding it was not.
Most networks were built top down: global feeds, algorithm-driven discovery, and little visibility for the people right down the street. Local creators felt invisible, even when they were shaping culture in their own city.
Runiuni is my answer to that problem: a local-first creator network where discovery starts nearby and grows outward. This is the third iteration, rebuilt from scratch with everything I learned along the way.
