    the doors are shut while we rebuild the room

    the only virtual office for vetted founders.

    two doors, not one. membership gets you to the first. an application a person actually reads gets you through the second. everyone at a desk in here cleared both.

    free to start. the hq is a members' room.

    the sidething hq floorplan. a pixel-art office with a lounge, hot desks, a long table of founders working, a meeting room and a garden, each person marked with a green online dot

    every name on this floor went through the same door you would.

    • the lounge
    • hot desks
    • the long table
    • the meeting room
    • the garden

    a vetted room, on purpose.

    anyone can spin up a discord and post the link. the reason this room is worth walking into is the reason it is hard to get into.

    door one

    the membership.

    the hq is a members' room. it comes with sidething, alongside your roadmap and everything else. this door is the easy one.

    door two

    the application.

    written, and read by a person. no algorithm, no auto-approve. we ask what you have got moving lately, and what you have figured out that another founder would want to know. those two answers decide it.

    who you end up sitting next to.

    the point of the door is the room behind it. people you like, whose opinion you trust, and who you would happily work with on something.

    • serious operators

      a career, a craft, a track record of finishing things. here to own their work, not because they read a thread about it.

    • already moving

      shipping now, or two weeks out from it. nobody in here is on someday, maybe.

    • kind and direct

      real feedback, said plainly. the sort of person who tells you the thing you needed to hear a month ago.

    • not here to lurk

      they post their progress and answer someone else's question. the room runs on it.

    an open server
    sidething hq

    anyone with the invite link.

    everyone was read and accepted.

    you cannot tell who has actually done it.

    you can see what everyone has shipped.

    you lurk, because nobody knows you.

    you are known, so you turn up.

    the room owes you nothing.

    the room roots for you.

    the doors are shut. the bar is not moving.

    we have taken the hq offline while we rebuild it. the way in does not change: membership first, then an application a person reads. clear both and there is a desk waiting for you when the doors open.
