90 Days to Ship — Not Just Relocate
A selective founder residency: room + 12-week build program + peer accountability in a curated house—built for people building a product, not generic digital-nomad tourism.
Lower burn · sharper focus · Demo Day with curated feedback
The problem
Founders don't fail on the flight—they fail on focus
Moving abroad alone means weeks lost to logistics, isolation, and context-switching—while your runway ticks down. Coliving is social; we're optimized for shipping: a house of builders, a shared sprint rhythm, and a clear path to something you can show—not just a cheaper Airbnb month.
The solution
Founder Residency = house + program + cohort—not “coliving with Wi‑Fi”
TribeZ Spaces stacks furnished housing, a work-ready environment, and a 12-week build track (milestones, accountability, GTM and product focus) that ends in Demo Day to curated local angels and operators—so the trip has a product outcome, not just a lifestyle change.
Room + rhythm
Cohort timing; space to build, not just sleep.
12-week sprint
Structured phases, peer pressure to ship.
Demo Day
Pitch in a real room—curated local angels & operators, honest feedback.
Differentiation
Built for founders—not generic remote workers
Coliving versus TribeZ Founder Residency
| Typical coliving / nomad hubs |
TribeZ Founder Residency |
| Open drop-ins | Application + fit interview (selective cohort) |
| Social & travel-first | Ship-first — weekly build commitment |
| No program | 12-week track → Demo Day |
| Random roommates | Builders on products (often technical / product-led) |
| Short stays | 90-day residency — Floripa prototype |
Qualification
Who this is for (our niche)
For you if…
- You're actively building a startup or serious project (not only employed full-time elsewhere)
- You can commit meaningful weekly hours to the build during the 90 days
- You want peer accountability and a room that raises the bar
- Brazil / Floripa fits your cost + timezone + lifestyle thesis
Not for you if…
- Looking for a vacation or party hostel with a laptop
- You won't engage with the cohort or program rhythm
- You need a job-placement program (we're founder-build, not recruiting)
- You can't live respectfully in a shared house
The experience
What the 90 days are optimized for
Land & lock scope
Arrival, housing, essentials—then sprint planning with your cohort.
Build weeks
Weekly accountability, product + GTM focus, peer feedback—not solo drift.
Demo Day
Present to curated angels & operators—not a guarantee of funding, a real pitch room.
Founder residency
90-day room + 12-week program + Demo Day (per person)
Double-occupancy rooms; rates are per founder. Confirmed after application & fit conversation.
Founding cohort pricing — these are discounted rates. Our expected standard entry for future cohorts is $10,000 minimum per person (90 days), so the next published cohort may list higher.
Standard
$6,000 / 90 days
Private room tier · work-ready · 12-week build program
Suite
$7,000 / 90 days
Upgraded room (availability) · same program & Demo Day
Second occupant (same room): 50% of the listed per-person 90-day rate ($3,000 Standard · $3,500 Suite).
Both must be working on the same project.
Ecosystem
Beyond the house: founder network in Brazil
Local operator and intro paths where appropriate, optional visa orientation, partner hooks—and an alumni community as we grow. We're not a job board; we're aligned with people building something.
Logic
Why this works for our niche
- Cost arbitrage extends runway while you ship
- Timezone overlap with US customers and partners (when that's your GTM)
- Selective room → fewer tourists, more builders
- Outcome: live product + pitch + feedback—not just a passport stamp
