03Why this exists

We didn't invent this from a moodboard.

We've stayed at Network School and spent time inside San Francisco founder houses, including HF0. The useful part wasn't the address; it was living near people who treated the work as real.

HackerHouse Accelerator brings that pressure to Manila, with its own rules and its own point of view.

05The rules

Protect the room
or leave it.

A shared house gets useful when everyone guards other people's focus as carefully as their own.

01

Work on the real thing

Members join with one full-time business, not a rotating set of experiments.

02

Guard other people's focus

Noise spreads fast in a shared house. Don't be the source of it.

03

Keep dating outside

The house isn't a dating pool. Leave that energy elsewhere.

04

Say it early

If something is wrong, address it directly before it turns into house politics.

Talent gets you considered. Conduct keeps you here.

06The cost

Monthly rent, across 6 houses

PHP35K-120K

Straight answers. If something here rules you out, it is meant to.

What is HackerHouse Accelerator?

HackerHouse Accelerator is a live-in business residency in the Philippines. Members already run a business with revenue, move into one of the houses full time, pick a single business number, and spend the year trying to grow that number tenfold. It is a residency you rent a room in, not a cohort programme with classes.

Where are the HackerHouse Accelerator houses?

There are 6 houses: Makati, BGC, Pasig, Mall of Asia, Quezon City, and Clark. Five are in Metro Manila and one is in Clark, Pampanga, about two hours north.

How much does it cost to live at HackerHouse Accelerator?

Rent runs ₱35–120K per month depending on which house you choose and which room is free. Clark is the lowest at ₱35–60K and BGC the highest at ₱75–120K. One monthly payment covers the room and every house service.

What is included in the rent?

11 things are included at every house: room, coworking space, meeting pods, gym, sauna, cold plunge, healthy food, laundry, cleaning, electricity, wi-fi. The list is identical at all 6 houses; only the address and the rate change.

Who qualifies to join HackerHouse Accelerator?

There are two ways in. Either the business already earns at least PHP 150,000 per month, or it is early stage and pre-revenue and you are building it full time. Both are accepted. What is not negotiable is that it is your only business, you have no day job or fallback project, and you can name the single number that matters most to the company.

Which HackerHouse Accelerator house should I pick?

Makati (Makati CBD, ₱70–110K): The oldest business district, and the shortest meeting commute. BGC (Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, ₱75–120K): The newest build, the cleanest streets, the highest rent. Pasig (Ortigas Center, Pasig, ₱55–90K): Central to everything, priced below the districts it sits between. Mall of Asia (Bay Area, Pasay, ₱50–85K): Open water, flat roads, and the closest house to the airport. Quezon City (Diliman, Quezon City, ₱45–75K): Trees, quiet streets, and the deepest engineering hiring pool. Clark (Clark Freeport, Pampanga, ₱35–60K): Out of the metro entirely. The lowest rent and the fewest interruptions.

What are the house rules?

Work on the real thing: Members join with one full-time business, not a rotating set of experiments. Guard other people's focus: Noise spreads fast in a shared house. Don't be the source of it. Keep dating outside: The house isn't a dating pool. Leave that energy elsewhere. Say it early: If something is wrong, address it directly before it turns into house politics.

How do I apply to HackerHouse Accelerator?

Apply from any page using the Apply button. The application asks what you are building, a link to your work, your current monthly revenue, the main number you want to move, and what a tenfold result would look like by year end.
