A startup community & venture lab.
Every founder has a story. Every company has an origin.
Not the moment it took off. The one before that. When the plan was fragile, the doubt was loud, and the only thing louder was the voice inside you that wouldn't quit.
That's where Origin House meets you.
We are a community and venture lab in Minneapolis built for early-stage entrepreneurs. The right mentor, the right investor, the first check, the first customer, the introduction that actually opens a door. Every collision builds on the last and somewhere in all of it, the vision that once lived only in your head starts to take shape.
This is where it all starts. This is Origin House.

A working floor in Minneapolis.







Community & Venture Lab.
Built for Main Street operators and tech founders alike.

Community.
Continuous collisions between founders. The momentum and culture that build when the right people keep showing up.
The House
The room. A daily working studio, plus the calendar of dinners, pitch nights, and open houses that make Minneapolis show up.
Events
Dinners, breakfasts, demo nights, the O1 Summit. The recurring gatherings that keep the scene moving.
Origin Stories
The podcast. Conversations with builders about the part that doesn't make the keynote.
Venture Lab.
Where the work gets sharper and the capital follows. Programs, embeds, and partners aimed at traction.
The Lab
The collaborative workspace. Built rooms, on purpose, for teams shipping side by side.
Odyssey
