Current footprint
San Francisco is the base for the residency program, with the first batch starting June 1, 2026, while Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas expand the FU ND's current footprint with different working modes: sprinting, convening, and founder collisions in environments that are distinct on purpose.
Current footprint
Immersive, inspiring physical locations structured to host founders in multiple modes of intensity, collaboration, and reflection.
Residency base
San Francisco is the active home of the residency program, with the first batch starting June 1, 2026. The Dojo story points to a 10,000-square-foot work and event environment with views, gathering space, and enough density to keep founders in the room with each other.
Sprint and reset
Dojo Sierra is located in the Lake Tahoe area in the picturesque East Sierra Mountain range. Located in historic downtown Carson City, NV Dojo Sierra is an excellent location for team off sites, heads down sprints and refreshers. It is part of the current footprint for off-sites, heads-down sprints, and sharper working sessions away from the city.
Experience and convening
Las Vegas is the Silicon Valley of human experience. Art, hosting, gaming, global conventions, risk and reward are all here, and so is the Dojo, Located between the world famous Fremont Street cooridor and the fabled Las Vegas Arts District, the Vegas Dojo vibes and builds in teh classic Las Vegas style. Viva Las Vegas, Viva LV. We present it as part of the FU ND's current broader footprint: a place for high-energy convenings, brand moments, and founder collisions around culture, risk, and hospitality.
Why three places
We operate across multiple environments on purpose, allowing teams to toggle focus seamlessly as needed.
Residency
The main program lives in San Francisco because that is where the Dojo's founder history, advisor access, and dense collision potential are strongest.
Sprints
Tahoe gives teams a quieter mode without leaving the broader FU ND footprint.
Conventions
Las Vegas fits moments where hospitality, experience design, and large-scale gatherings are part of the work.
Spaces and atmosphere
A visual gallery of high-density encounter spots, boardroom summits, lakeside sprints, and urban landscapes.
Residency base
The three-location story is not there for ornament. It gives the FU ND multiple contexts for getting founders together at the right level of intensity.
