For investors and funds · proposed
Finance the room. Do not buy the room.
Hackhouse is testing sponsorship that makes focused build retreats possible while keeping applications, selection, and introductions under explicit participant control.
Pilot sponsorship · proposedNo applicant dataIntroductions require consent
Founding partners
Finance useful work, not access to people.
Proposed sponsorship can support houses, travel, meals, and bounties. It never buys applications, contact data, cohort selection, guaranteed introductions, or endorsement.
Explore sponsorshipWhat sponsorship could support
Make the work possible.
No tiers or inventory are for sale in this prototype. These are conversation starters for a future signed sponsor brief.
A pilot house
Help finance the venue, operating team, shared meals, participant travel, accessibility needs, and contingency for one scoped Bounty House.
A builder bounty
Fund compensation tied to a signed challenge scope and participant terms, not speculative unpaid work.
A Canadian circuit
Explore multi-city support only after the first paid pilot produces evidence that the format is useful and repeatable.
The trust boundary
Access is not a sponsorship benefit.
The network only becomes useful if a participant can say no without losing standing or opportunity.
- No applicant access
- Sponsorship includes no application list, profile export, contact information, private member data, review seat, or cohort-selection power.
- No guaranteed dealflow
- No company, founder, or builder is obligated to meet. Any introduction requires a specific reason and separate, revocable consent from both sides.
- No investment endorsement
- Presence in a house, directory, demo, or introduction is not diligence, recommendation, solicitation, allocation, or right of first refusal.
- Useful participation
- A signed sponsor brief would define appropriate meals, demos, working sessions, visibility, conflicts, and participant opt-out rights.
A request for startups
Publish the problem, not a private list.
A future fund could describe a sector thesis, technical problem, or founder profile it wants to understand. Hackhouse could show that request to relevant members without disclosing who they are.
A founder or builder would choose whether to respond. Only then, with fresh consent from both sides, would Hackhouse make an introduction. Sponsorship would not change that decision.
Start with the first pilot, not a logo wall.
