But they're scattered.
Different cities. Different networks. Different worlds.
The house is the format. The community is the point.
We're not selecting résumés.
We are selecting top founders. People who build.
You bring the ambition. We provide the house.
A place to work, build and stay focused.
Twenty ambitious people pushing each other every day.
Founders, investors, creators, operators and builders.
Fast, honest and from people building next to you.
Conversations, dinners and moments that create opportunities.
We bring the people shaping the ecosystem. And we want your help choosing who comes next.
The final event. Founders, investors, guests and every builder who joined the journey.
Our initiation ritual. We'll let you discover the rest.
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.
Build fast. New ideas. New teams. Real prototypes.
We log off together: tournaments, drinks or trips. All organized.
Padel, five-a-side, basket, tennis and gym. Founder vs founder — team building that doesn't feel like it.
Everything leads here. You step on stage and show what you built to the community, guests and investors.
Twenty is small enough that everyone knows everyone — and big enough that something is always happening.
Every seat is hand-picked. We optimize for density of talent and ambition, not headcount.
Stay for a week, a month, or the whole summer. Minimum stay: 7 days. Long enough to matter.
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.
— Italy's Founders House
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.
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.
Everyone who joins IFH becomes part of that mission.
Help us tell the story. Help us make people listen.
IFH starts with 20 builders. What happens next is up to us.
