A London founder house says no to burnout

One house in London is running its founders differently. They share rent, share a kitchen, share the grind — but they've written rules against the founder cult of always-on. No Slack pings after 8. No weekend calls. No one pretends to be grinding when they're actually resting.

Founder houses usually become glorified offices: founders in matching hoodies, trading war stories, conflating motion with progress. This one is trying something dumber and harder. The people who live there are all founders. They're also friends. The house is structured so you can close the door and actually be off — and the house won't collapse if you do.

Why this matters for us: la comunidad builds in a different rhythm. We don't need to perform hustle to prove we're serious. Quiet work is still work.
