Origin House, the building, Minneapolis
Minneapolis · Est. 2026

A startup community & venture lab.

Manifesto

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.

How we build

Community & Venture Lab.

Built for Main Street operators and tech founders alike.

Founders working side by side inside Origin House
Community

Community.

Continuous collisions between founders. The momentum and culture that build when the right people keep showing up.

Venture Lab

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

The sprint. 30 days, one scoreboard: traction. The two teams that move the needle furthest each take home $100K. $200K invested in all.

Capital Network

The investors, funds, and capital partners standing behind the work. Access for portfolio companies.
