Build faster when you
live with builders.
hack-house connects ambitious founders, engineers, and creators with curated hacker houses around the world. Find your people, move in, and ship.
The loneliest job in the world
Building a startup is isolating. You're heads-down on a problem no one around you understands. Your friends don't get why you're up at 2am. Your family thinks you should get a "real job."
Hacker houses fix this. When you live with other builders, the energy compounds. A stuck moment becomes a whiteboard session over coffee. A dead end becomes a breakthrough because someone across the hall solved the same problem last month.
What is a hacker house?
A hacker house is a shared living space for people building things — startups, open source projects, creative work, research. Think of it as a coliving space with intention: everyone there is making something.
Curated community
Live with founders, engineers, and designers who push you to ship faster.
Built-in network
Weekly dinners, demo days, and intros to investors and operators.
Focus mode
No commute, no distractions. Your office is 10 steps from your bed.
Serendipity
The best collaborations happen in kitchens at midnight, not in Zoom calls.
Why hack-house?
Finding a hacker house today is painful. They're scattered across Twitter threads, Discord servers, and word of mouth. You don't know who else lives there, what the vibe is, or if there's even a spot open.
We built hack-house to be the single place where you can discover, compare, and apply to hacker houses — whether you're looking for a summer in SF, a month in NYC, or a season in Toronto.
- Browse houses by city, dates, price, and vibe
- See who else lives there before you apply
- One application, reviewed by the organizer directly
- No fees, no middlemen
