cohort 1 · bangalore summer 2026
the first house shipped.
june 16 – july 15, 2026. one villa in bangalore. 16 builders lived in the same building, shipped in public, and demoed on july 15, 2026.
hardware, agents, and security sat next to each other at dinner. that mix is why we are running the house again, not because we needed another announcement.

apply for cohort 2the premise
one villa. thirty days. no pitch theatre.
this is not a luxury coliving product, a fake community, or a startup conference stretched over a month.
it is a focused residential environment for founders, hackers, indie hackers, engineers, designers, researchers, and students who want to build around other people who are also building.
who it is for
- you have shipped real things
- you talk to users
- you are building a product, tool, startup, or research project
- you can live with intensity for 30 days
- you are not doing it for linkedin
how it works
- one villa in bangalore
- fast internet and shared work areas
- unlimited diet coke, domains, and ai credits
- communal dinner every night
- ship in public
talent is everywhere. opportunity is not.
the goal is to build the room deliberately: the late-night arguments, the dinner conversations, the first users, the first collaborators, and the people you call when something breaks.
