Weāre building the spaces founders deserve
No more lonely grinds, sh*t networking events, or soulless co-working. Just a community of ambitious builders who actually get it
How Plugged Started
It started with a simple observation: being a founder is lonely as hell.
You're grinding away on your vision, surrounded by people who don't get it. The networking events suck. The co-working spaces are full of strangers. Everyone's heads down on their laptops, and nobody actually talks.
We got tired of it. So we decided to build something different - a space where founders could actually build alongside each other. Where you could look up from your screen and be surrounded by people who understand the grind. Where Friday drinks weren't forced networking, but hanging out with your friends.
What started as house parties and small gatherings grew into something bigger: a full community with workspace, events, and a network of founders who genuinely support each other.

Where we are now
What we stand for
š
Wicked Ambition
We believe in building big. Not side hustles - real companies that change the world. We look for founders with huge vision and the bias to execute.
š®
Serious Fun
Building shouldn't be all grind. We mix hard work with actual fun. House parties, games nights, and genuine friendships make the journey better.
š¤
Belonging
No matter your stage, background, class, or creed - if you're building something meaningful, you belong here.
šŖ
Community First
Your success is our success. We show up for each other, make intros, and actually help when someone's stuck.
ā”
Anti-Corporate
We're deliberately not WeWork. Not corporate. Not stuffy. We're building the spaces we wish existed.
šÆ
Founders Only
This space is for founders, by founders. We're selective about who joins to keep the vibe right.
