Morning
Coffee if you want names. A desk if you have calls. The kitchen is for breakfast, not a standup.
The week
A week you can work in, and people worth knowing.
The membership is a place to live and a way to spend the days. Coffee and the kitchen are for everyone. The mixers, the work blocks, and the founder dinner get more serious as the tier does. You can skip coffee. The Circle is wasted if you skip the Circle.
What actually happens
Monday coffee
Every member
Short, in the house, for whoever is awake. The lowest-stakes way to know who you live with.
The house table
Ongoing
Someone cooks, or nobody does. The kitchen and the table are there so the house can eat together when it wants to.
Skill share
Community and Circle
A member teaches what they actually know. A seat is held for Community and Circle. Others join when there is room.
Work block
Community and Circle
A hosted stretch of heads-down time in the house. Not a coworking brand. A room of people who said they would work.
Monthly mixer
Community and Circle
Past your own hallway. Members from more than one house, and a few guests who are useful to meet.
Founder dinner
Circle
One table. The work, not a panel. You are expected to talk about what you are building.
Operator hours
Circle
Time with people who have done the job: product, hiring, the raise, the messy middle. You bring the problem.
A city outing
Open
Music, a trail, or a long table somewhere else in Austin. The point is the city, with people you already know.
Member includes the open life of the house. Community and the Circle add the closed rooms. Prices and what each one holds are on the membership page.
An ordinary Tuesday
Afternoon
The house is a place to work. Wifi, a door, and someone to write when the building needs something.
Evening
Cook if you want to. A skill share or a work block if you are on Community or the Circle. The city, if the outing is this week.
In their words
“I moved for grad school and had a furnished room, a kitchen, and people near campus in the first week. That was the whole landing.”
“I wanted a base in Texas, not a hotel. I worked from the house, met people who were also passing through, and some of them became clients.”
“The useful part was not the mattress. It was the table. I met my co-founder in the house and had a real conversation with investors because someone made the introduction.”
From the journal
All notesWhat the membership actually is
One number. It includes where you live, and how far into the ecosystem you want to go.
The first thirty days
How a membership actually starts, whether you are landing for a degree, a job, a company, or a season.
What makes a house part of this
A fresh coat of paint is not the test. A kitchen, a table, and a week you can work are.
Sharing a room, and a house
Twin sharing works when the small things are written down.
