Taiwanese FoundersHelping Each Other
Formosa Founders is the Taiwanese founder community in San Francisco — a hacker house, events, and a network that has your back.
Become a ResidentWhat we do
The House
A hacker house in Lower Haight where Taiwanese founders live together — the heart of the community.
Events
Hotpot parties, demo nights, and meetups with Taiwanese founders across the Bay.
Network & Support
Intros to investors and fellow founders — and people who get what you're going through.
Why It Matters
Moving to San Francisco is hard for Taiwanese founders. The startup circle here is tight-knit, and breaking in is tough — especially across language and culture barriers.
Most people spend over a year figuring out how things work here, burning money and time while feeling isolated.
Formosa Founders House puts you under the same roof as people who've walked this road — or are walking it right now. You don't need to slowly network your way in; you're already inside. What takes others a year to figure out, you'll learn in weeks.
Who Thrives Here
You're building a startup
Running a company, just getting started, or seriously preparing to — we're looking for founders. We care about your passion and what you're building, not your title or background.
You hold yourself to a high bar
You know what you want and you're willing to work for it. You're self-driven — nobody needs to push you, because you love what you do.
You believe in helping each other
The magic of this community comes from what everyone gives. Cooking, hosting events, making intros, sharing lessons — when you can help, you'll want to.
