Move To The Bay Area

If you live in the Bay Area, you're in luck: you live in the center of the hacker universe! If you don't live here yet, it's time to plan a "visit" and buy a one way ticket. San Francisco has a reputation for being an expensive place to live, but the cost of not living in San Francisco is incalculable, and the cost benefit of moving here has unforeseeably infinite possibilities to expand the possibilities for your life to discover new aspirations and do insanely great things to make a dent in the universe.

Welcome To The Goal Rush

San Francisco has been through multiple gold rushes. Once upon a time, people came to the west coast for a gold rush to find their fortunes in the ground. Then hackers came here to start companies in the first and second dot com waves. Now hackers are flocking here not just to strike it rich with .com gold but also to strike at the way things work to do something that can change the world and affect millions of people's lives. We call this the goal rush.

Finding Places To Live/Study/Work/Hack

The best way to find cool people to live with, cool places to work, cool schools to study at and cool opportunities to hack is to hang out at Bay Area hackerspaces.

Planning A Visit

If you don't already plan to move here, you probably haven't visited our hackerspaces! Plan a visit and get in touch with bay area hackers to meet up with when you get here.

Making The Move

If you're worried about moving all your stuff, you have too much stuff. Put everything you can't bring with you in storage or on ebay. Drive across the country with whatever fits in your car if necessary, but you can accomplish more here in a year than all the stuff you've accumulated in the rest of the world in your life up to this point.
