Life in a startup mansion

Love being surrounded by intense folks…

Took this pic today, all crunching late into the night despite the public holiday.

Factory 0 is a startup house I’m staying at in San Francisco. Startup mansion would be another way to describe it (this place is huge!) but would give it the wrong connotation: the work:party ratio is disturbingly high.

There are hackers, creatives and product guys. Companies with tons of users through to nascent ideas bubbling into life right next to my desk.

Yes it’s noisy, gets untidy and feels like a dorm.  But the energy is inspiring.  

Couldn’t imagine staying in a boring hotel any more…
