Live with people who ship.
Curated collaborative houses for founders, engineers, designers and researchers building in adjacent fields. Move in for a month, a quarter or a year. Operators pay one one-time listing fee per house — zero commission on rent.
Six things a coffee shop can't give you.
Tech-focused community
Roommates who can rubber-duck your bug at midnight. Founders, infra, ML researchers, indie hackers.
Collaborative spaces
Dedicated work rooms, whiteboards, demo screens, a phone booth that actually has a door.
Global network
Stay in one house, get introductions to alumni in 12 cities. SF ↔ NYC ↔ London ↔ Bangalore ↔ Lisbon.
Resources & mentorship
Office hours from operators who've shipped. Workshops on YC apps, fundraising, design, distribution.
High-speed everything
Symmetric gigabit, redundant uplinks, espresso, snacks, the kind of monitor you don't want to pack.
Regular events
Demo nights, hackathons, dinners with visiting founders, weekend trips to scratch the cabin fever.
The cheat code is the room.
Shorten the build loop
A roommate shipped the same thing last month. They'll save you a week.
Find your co-founder
Most hacker-house residents either become co-founders or first hires. Density matters.
Flexible lease terms
Stay a month to ship a side project, six months to incubate a startup, a year to scale a team.
Affordable shared living
Private bedroom, shared infrastructure, included utilities. Cheaper than a studio in the same neighbourhood.
Run the house, keep the rent.
Operators pay one one-time listing fee per house — Subletter takes zero commission on rent. The fee keeps fakes out of the marketplace.
List your house
Add the address, the cohort focus (AI, infra, climate, crypto), the house culture, the application form.
Vet incoming residents
Subletter routes applications and chat through the platform. You decide who sits at the kitchen table.
One-time listing fee
A small one-time fee per house keeps the marketplace genuine. Zero commission on what residents pay you.
Dashboard for the operator
Track applications, occupancy, payments and recurring residents in one editorial dashboard built for hosts.
Three steps to a cohort.
Discover & explore
Filter by city, cohort focus, lease length, and house culture. Read resident reviews and ship logs.
Apply & connect
Tell the house what you're building. Open a chat with the house operator and existing residents.
Move in & ship
Plug in, sit down with a co-founder you didn't have last month, and start shipping by the weekend.
What builders ask first.
Coliving rents you a furnished bed and a wifi password. A hacker house adds intentional cohort selection — you're placed with builders working on adjacent problems — plus operator-led programming (demo nights, office hours, intros) that turns roommates into a real network.
