An Experimental
Hacker Residency
in Da Nang, Vietnam

We're inviting 10 ambitious founders to come live and build with us for an entire month at a dope villa in SE Asia.

November 1st – 30th, 2025.

Led by world-class hackers

David Park

The villa

A stunning 10-bedroom villa with pool, workspace, and ocean views. Located 5 minutes from the beach and 15 minutes from the city center.

Fully equipped for focused work.

And the best part is it's 100% free

We don't take any equity or revenue share.

You only need to pay for your flights.

We cover the villa, food, laundry, a professional videographer, and even your very own personal assistant for the month.

Wait, why are we doing this for free?

We're doing this as an experiment with a few goals in mind:

1. Shine an spotlight on the indie hacker lifestyle 🔥

2. Build a new type of international dev community focused on more ambitious digital nomads

3. Make friends, vibe, and learn from each other! 🤙

Why Vietnam?

Da Nang, Vietnam is a beautiful city right on the beach that's super accessible and relatively cheap. We chose it for our first batch because Tony and David both happen to live there. 😉 But it's also legitimately one of the best cities in the world for digital nomads.
