From the community
“I shipped more in my first month than in the 6 months before. Accountability is real when your flat-mate is also a founder.”
Mateus R.
Founder, Briefstack · Lisbon
“Matched with two builders who became co-founders. I came for the co-living. I stayed for the people.”
Priya K.
Indie hacker, AppFlip · Bangkok
“The matching is scary good. My flat-mate and I had 34 overlapping starred repos. We launched a collab the second week.”
