Merge House pairs complementary solo founders into shared apartments in Southeast Asia's best builder cities. Lower burn. Built-in accountability. Never build alone again.
The Process
Share your background, product stage, and what kind of co-founder you need. Developer looking for a marketer? Marketer looking for a technical partner?
Our matching process pairs you with someone whose skills fill your gaps — filtered for work style, product stage, ambition, and personal compatibility.
Get placed in a furnished apartment in your chosen city. Set up a co-working rhythm, do daily standups, and start shipping together from day one.
The Case
Average all-in cost of $850/mo in SEA vs $4,500+ in San Francisco. Your runway just got 5× longer without raising a cent.
A housemate who's as invested in shipping as you are. Daily co-working sessions, shared meals, and someone to hold you to your weekly goals.
Solo founders stall. Co-located founders with complementary skills ship faster, make better decisions, and stay motivated through the hard parts.
Every resident is vetted. This isn't a hostel — it's a house full of serious builders working on real products with real users.
The Cities
The average SF founder spends $4,500/mo just to exist. Our residents average $850/mo — and get a co-founder included.
