There are simpler ways to have something to talk about... Join a climbing gym, start skateboarding or take up any other sport or hobby!

in the middle of a pandemic? Not a likely scenario you can do today. Maybe in a year? However, one must walk their dogs and it's outside. Safest way to converse with someone currently. But even the activities you've mentioned, still hard to approach/interrupt a stranger who's working out or in general busy for a conversation with a complete stranger. In most case, when that happens, they're trying to sell you something or invite you into a cult.
True. All these things are going to be difficult right now - if one is trying to be cautious about the pandemic. I'm doing skateboarding only because it's a big outdoor space and the risks are very low. Most of the other skateboarders are either kids or adults very focused on their practice - as am I. I'm wondering if anyone knows any existing communities or groups of solo founders that are looking to build a friends support network.
So you already skate? That’s great! In my experience adult skateboarders are always more than happy to meet others. To be fair that goes for skaters of any age.
Yes I do, for the past 6 months or so. I don't know if I could find people that are entrepreneurs, that has similar interests and have a family here in Bali, but I could try :)
If you're in Bali you should really be surfing now. Put down hacker news right away please.

There should also be a bunch of "digital nomads" running companies and surfing in Bali that you could be hanging out with, and can stand their smugness... I mean if you specifically want to meet entrepreneurs. I'm sure there are even dedicated living communities for digital nomad surfers.

Skateboarding is a big thing and can really help you :) I think IndieHackers and solofounder.club might be worth checking.
Maybe sports are different where you are. I’ve never been approached by cult members, either at the skatepark or the climbing gym...
