Frequently Asked Questions

For residents: a dedicated room, high-speed WiFi, access to all community events and Jam Sessions, coffee/snacks, meeting space for calls, AI skill pack, and the intangible -- a curated community of founders at similar stages. For dedicated desk members: a reserved desk in a shared room plus everything members get. For members: access to all common areas and all four weekly Jam Sessions. All member tiers get 24/7 access. No hidden fees.

That depends on what you value. If you just need a desk and WiFi, work from home. If you want to be surrounded by other founders, have spontaneous collisions that spark ideas, and be part of a community that makes you ship faster, that's what you're paying for. Residency is $1,250-1,450/month for a dedicated room (priced per room, for your team). Dedicated desks are $495/month per person for a reserved spot in a shared room. Membership is $295/month per person for access to all common areas and Jam Sessions, with a co-founder bundle available at $450/month total ($225/person) for two co-founders joining together. Day passes are $100.

We're at 1717 Cleveland Avenue, nestled between South End & Dilworth. It's a historic house with real character, near the light rail. Not a glass box.

All member tiers -- residents, dedicated desk members, and members -- have 24/7 access. It's your workspace, day or night. Day pass holders have full-day access (9am-5pm) for Wednesday Jam Sessions.

Yes, there's parking on-site. The house is also steps from the light rail between South End & Dilworth, so transit access is easy too.

High-speed WiFi is non-negotiable. We'll also have a stocked kitchen (coffee, snacks), whiteboards, comfortable seating areas, and a setup designed for both heads-down work and collaboration.

Absolutely. We'll have designated quiet spaces for calls and video meetings so you're not disrupting (or being disrupted by) others.

We're curating for stage, culture add, growth potential, and unique perspectives. We're looking for founders who are actively building, want to be part of a community, and will contribute to the energy of the house. It's not first-come-first-served. It's right-fit-first.

You should be actively working on something, even if it's early. This isn't for people exploring ideas. It's for people building them.

That's why we're curating carefully. We want everyone to genuinely enjoy being in the space together. If it's not working, we'll figure it out.

Yes. Co-founders from the same startup are welcome. Pricing is per startup, not per person (within reason. We're talking 1-3 people per company, not 10).

Collaborative but not forced. We're not running structured programs or mandatory networking events. It's more like: work near other ambitious people, have lunch together sometimes, jam on problems when it makes sense, play games on Friday nights if you want. Low pressure, high energy.

Scale and intent. WeWork is hundreds of people in a sanitized office building. This is a few startups in a historic house. You'll know everyone. Everyone's invested in each other's success. It's designed for collision, not isolation.

Houses have character. They have kitchens where conversations happen. They have living rooms where ideas get debated. They feel like somewhere you want to be, not somewhere you have to be. The best startup houses in SF and NYC aren't offices. They're homes that happen to be workspaces.

No. We're not running a program. We're not taking equity. We're not providing structured curriculum. This is just a space for founders to work alongside other founders with curated and intentional conversations.

You'll join our updates list. As we finalize the timeline, you'll be first to know. When we're ready to select residents, we'll reach out to schedule a conversation.

We're live. StealthX moved in April 1 as anchor tenant. Grand opening is May 15, 2026 with our initial residents and members. All tiers -- residents, dedicated desks, memberships, and day passes -- are available now. Apply anytime. Tours are available now.

Yes! We're at 1717 Cleveland Ave, nestled between South End & Dilworth. Express interest and we'll schedule a tour. We'll also be hosting open houses as we get closer to the membership launch.
