Launch House started as a crazy experiment where the founders rented a mansion in Tulum, Mexico, for one month and invited a bunch of founders and engineers to come and stay with them. What they found was surprising. By focusing on human connection and having everyone live in the same house together, everyone in the program wasn't just making incredible progress on what they were building. They were making incredible friends. Launch House quickly seized on that opportunity. And today, they run launch houses for founders and hack houses for engineers in Los Angeles, New York, and the metaverse. And they're just getting started. Early Launch House alumni have already gone on to raise venture capital funding from top-tier firms like Sequoia, a16z, and First Round. 💌 FREE NEWSLETTER https://www.outlieracademy.com/newsletter 🎙 LISTEN ON iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/outlier-academy/id1523851182 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/58edVNgqaPNaCSGSxM6pef?si=88f37a5d20434775 Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1523851182 ABOUT OUTLIER ACADEMY Learn timeless lessons on work and life from iconic founders, world-renown investors, and bestselling authors.
