What is Alchemist?
We’re an invite-only space for people who strive to do great work. Think of a modern-day Masonic Lodge crossed with a peer-to-peer version of Y Combinator.
There’s space to either get work done or hang out and chill.
Backstory & Motivation
This is all started by Nick, the founder of Wefunder (W13). While looking for an office space, I found this building for very cheap - thank you covid & recession.
I feel most fulfilled when I’m surrounded by a community of amazing people - the ones who build and create stuff. So that’s why I’m doing this.
Who is This For?
This is for builders, creators, and other outliers. This could include:
- Pre-pre-pre-seed founders. A solo founder who just quit your job? Congrats.
- Early-Stage Founding Teams. Best for teams of 6 or less.
- Late-Stage Founders. Run a 50+ person company and miss working alongside other founders? Work here every so often.
- Artists, Musicians, Engineers, Scientists, Designers. We’re not just for tech founders. We define creators and builders more broadly.
Some traits we like:
- Substance. Those who can dive into the weeds and have a substance about them; not those who pretend, play-act, or focus on the gloss.
- Doers. Those who do stuff, not just talk about it.
- Ambitious.They feel compelled to do something with their life.
- Slightly weird. But in a good way, you know? :)
- Good humans. Well-intentioned, benevolent, no sharks. f
- Willingness to share & help others. No lone wolfs.
