HF0 is one of the world's most selective founder residencies — just 10 teams are chosen per cohort from thousands of global applicants, with acceptance rates at or below 0.01%. The 12-week live-in program is based in San Francisco and combines intensive founder community with up to $1M in uncapped funding for 5% equity.
The program is designed for repeat and high-performing founders. Residents live and work together in a dedicated house, creating an immersive environment that accelerates company building through peer pressure, accountability, and deep founder bonds.
The live-in format creates an unusually intense founder community that's hard to replicate in a traditional accelerator.
Repeat founders and high-performing builders who want an immersive, community-driven environment. Not a fit for first-time founders looking for structured curriculum.
HF0 blends founder community with mindfulness practices. The live-in format means residents eat, sleep, and build together — creating deep bonds and accountability.
