02 · The problem

Italy has the talent.
It lacks the room.

But they're scattered.
Different cities. Different networks. Different worlds.

03 · What is IFH

We're building the place
where they finally meet.

The house is the format. The community is the point.

06 · Life at IFH

A day
at IFH.

MORNINGWake up early. Train together. Gym, basket, tennis, padel, football.
STAND-UP COFFEEIn the office, before we start. A quick 10-minute round to declare your #1 priority for the day. Then headphones on, and we work.
MIDDAYDeep work. Build. Ship. Focus.
AFTERNOONMore building. Or another round of sport.
EVENINGGuests. Conversations. Ideas.
NIGHTThe most important part. Community. Getting to know each other, sharing ideas, building friendships, contaminating each other's thinking.
07 · The rituals

Structure creates
momentum.

Initiation

🔥 Roast My Startup

Our initiation ritual. We'll let you discover the rest.

Sunday + Bi-weekly

🎯 Check & Plan

Sundays: what did you build, what worked, what failed — no slides, no bullshit. Every two weeks you publicly commit to what's next, and the community keeps you accountable.

Throughout

⚡ Hackathons

Build fast. New ideas. New teams. Real prototypes.

Every Friday

🍻 Friday Unplugged

We log off together: tournaments, drinks or trips. All organized.

Recurring

🏓 Sports Tournaments

Padel, five-a-side, basket, tennis and gym. Founder vs founder — team building that doesn't feel like it.

Finale

🚀 Demo Day

Everything leads here. You step on stage and show what you built to the community, guests and investors.

08 · The people
20

That's it. Twenty builders
at a time. Ever.

Deliberately small

Twenty is small enough that everyone knows everyone — and big enough that something is always happening.

Highly selective

Every seat is hand-picked. We optimize for density of talent and ambition, not headcount.

Flexible stays

Stay for a week, a month, or the whole summer. Minimum stay: 7 days. Long enough to matter.

09 · Why you
IFH

This is not an open call. It's a personal invitation.

You're receiving this because someone in our circle pointed at you and said: that's a builder. We looked at what you've made, how you think, and how you show up — and we believe you belong in this house.

We think you'd make the other nineteen better. And we think they'd do the same for you.

10 · The vision

One house is
just the start.

This year: one house, twenty builders. Next year? We don't know — and that's the exciting part. The first people who join get to shape what this becomes.

We're not here to run another startup event. We are building the community we wish already existed — the place where Italy's most ambitious builders meet. And we're building it into the closest thing Italy has to its own Silicon Valley.

2026 · One house A community Italy's own Silicon Valley
11 · The mission

Content is part
of the mission.

We don't just want to build. We want people to notice. Everything that happens inside IFH will be documented — projects, failures, launches, conversations, guests. Our goal is to tell the story of builders in Italy.

Attention Talent Builders Opportunities

Everyone who joins IFH becomes part of that mission.
Help us tell the story. Help us make people listen.
