Portable Hacker House is designed for founders, builders, and makers. It was born out of lack of in-person hacker houses in Europe and lack of community to hack together for those with entrepreneurial minds. It's an invite only app that tracks your progress in building, allows you to focus, and see who's building what with you online irl in another corner of the world. Fully digital, we screen every applicant. Please apply on our website: portablehackerhouse.com.
