San Mateo Apt Valley Startup Hostel

9 points by freemanindia ↗ HN
I'd like to use my apartment in San Mateo to give startup teams from other parts of the world a chance to experience Silicon Valley culture.

When this batch of the iAccelerator(.org) ends in September, I'd like to invite the RedAnyway(.com) team to spend 6 months there. In the meantime I'd like to sublet the apartment to another startup.

I mentioned before that I'd take equity / convertible note from a YC company, from anyone else I'd prefer cash. I've been asking $1600 / mo on craigslist, but I'm negotiable. My primary goal is to have cool people there doing interesting work.

Seems like an expensive "hostel" at $53 a night.

Looks big enough to hold 2-3 people, which brings the cost to $18/night.

FYI for outsiders the main startup hubs in the area are San Francisco proper, then the area around Palo Alto (Sunnyvale up to Menlo Park). San Mateo is a lovely place, but you're not going to walk down the street and bump into your startup friends like you can in South Beach or Univ Ave in Palo Alto.

I think you'll bump into more startup buddies in Mountain View than in Palo Alto. Just visit any coffee shop in Mountain View and you'll see -- they all look like computer labs. There might be more funded startups in Palo Alto though.
