build your start up in silicon valley

the residency teamed up with the deck house to create the silicon valley experience for ambitious builders. you live with peers minutes away from sandhill road, while receiving coaching, introductions, and accountability sessions.

live

we offer a unique experience to live in a large communal house immersed in silicon valley culture surrounded by brilliance. you will live, build and grow alongside peers who like you want to make a dent in the universe. all, while enjoying the northern california lifestyle, with the pacific coastline, yosemite, lake tahoe and san francisco a short drive away.

build

the advantage we offer is this one of a kind tech focused innovation culture embedded with a can do spirit. You will bring your ideas to life by learning from silicon valley veterans. Whether working on your own, prototyping and coding or collaborating in group with peers; we support your growth and learning so you can take your ideas to the next level guided by our coaches.

connect

in silicon valley, on average there are over 100 tech events per month - be it hackathons, pitch competitions, or fireside chats - that's roughly 3 events per day! we help you attend the best events, connecting with builders beyond our house. we also host informal weekly events on our deck to make deeper connections, hone your pitch, and get feedback from techies & stanford community leaders.

our people…

every sunday afternoon, we host weekly informal social meetups on the deck with technologists, founders, scientists, builders &vcs… an opportunity to build connections w. potential collaborators.
you never know who will show up...

i landed in silicon valley as a 22 year old software engineer couple of years ago and it has been an amazing experience! i enjoy guiding others to do the same & integrate into the community.

the deck house provides an opportunity to mentor and guide young minds. as a techie and founder myself I understand the drive to learn and grow and I enjoy helping people get to the next level.

because the deck house is so close to stanford, I am able to meet up easily and provide feedback on short notice- it is convenient for one on ones and I enjoy giving tours of my stanford lab.
