01 / What this is
Most AI founders land in SF alone. The people they need are within five miles.
Crews is how you find them. Not a co-living. Not an accelerator. No programs.
02 / What you get
Three things.
01
Roommates
Founders on your block, in your budget. Form a crew of 3–5 and sign together.
02
Design partners
First customers who'll actually use what you ship. Engineers, founders, operators.
03
Co-founders
The complement you won't find on a job board. Research × product. Models × GTM.
03 / How it works
