I am excited to announce that Inquisition has rebranded to @usemunui! Munui (mun-ui) means "inquiry" in Korean, symbolizing our core commitment to asking questions and providing answers from trusted, verified sources. When we began as Inquisition, our mission was straightforward: to create a space where founders and people in tech could find answers to their toughest questions. Over time, however, we’ve evolved, and “Munui” now captures our renewed focus and direction. People inside the startup & tech ecosystem needed more than a Q&A platform, they sought deeper connection and collaboration. They needed a place where they could: 1. Showcase what they’re working on and reach new audiences. 2. Connect with others effortlessly, without sending 1,000 templated messages, and collaborate across the globe with ease. 3. Access specialized knowledge by asking questions to verified experts anytime, from anywhere. Introducing @usemunui—a community built for founders, creatives, developers, enthusiasts, investors, and experts from all around the world. More about Munui: munui.io/ #startup #buildinpublic #tech
