Origin House is a room in Minneapolis. The O is that room when you are not in it.
It is where members keep a profile, put their company somewhere people can find it, float ideas before they are ready, launch what they ship, and see what the house is doing next.
There is a feed, but it is a working one. Launches, ideas, and events from members who are actually making things, and it stays quiet on purpose.
Your member profile
A page that says who you are, what you are good at, and what you need. Founder or builder, both belong.
Your company profile
Logo, story, team, and links. The house can find your company without a pitch deck.
The member directory
Search the room by skill, stage, and industry, then ask for an intro.
The idea board
Post something half-formed. Others vote it up, tear it apart, and make it better.
Launches
Ship in front of the house. A rolling feed, a monthly board, and real comments from makers.
Events and hosting
Register for house events, or host your own with free or paid tickets.
Create an account
Set a password, or have us email you a six digit code. No company email required.
Claim or build your profile
If we already drafted one for you, claim it. If not, build it in a few minutes.
Get verified
Verified members unlock launches with an email blast, hosting, and invites.
You do not have to be a funded founder. If you are building something, designing, engineering, researching, or organizing, you belong here.
The O is early. Things will move, break, and get rebuilt while you are using it.
There is a feedback tab inside. It goes straight to our team, and we read every note.
