Est. Projects

Building solo, together.A free fortnightly co-working day for startup founders, indie hackers, designers and makers building their own thing. On any given Friday there's someone launching a website, someone wiring up an AI agent, someone chasing first customers, someone rewriting a pitch. Different projects, same fight. What people come for: Momentum. A full day carved out to ship, next to people doing the sameAccountability. Say what you're building at 9:30, show where it got to by 3:30Feedback. Demo to people who get it - progress, not polishGetting unstuck. Someone in the room has hit your problem before: pricing, landing pages, that 2pm bugCommunity. Building your own thing is lonely. This is the fix. Not a hackathon: no shared challenge, no teams, no prize, nothing to prepare. Bring whatever you're already building - or just an idea and a laptop. The day: 9:00 - doors open, coffee, grab a desk9:30 - rolling intro circle: who you are, what you're building, what you want to get done today3:00 - demos: 5 minutes each, progress not polish3:30 - wrap up, or keep working if you're in the zone Free, BYO laptop. We take photos for socials - tell the host if you'd rather not be in them.
