02 · The problem

Italy has the talent.
It lacks the place.

The founders are here. The builders are here. The creators are here. They've just never been in the same room.

03 · What is IFH

We're building the place
where they finally meet.

The house is the format. The community is the point.

06 · Life at IFH

A day
at IFH.

MORNINGWake up early. Train together. Gym, basket, tennis, padel, football.
STAND-UP COFFEEIn the office, before we start. A quick 10-minute round to declare your #1 priority for the day. Then headphones on, and we work.
MIDDAYDeep work. Build. Ship. Focus.
AFTERNOONMore building. Or another round of sport.
EVENINGGuests. Conversations. Ideas.
NIGHTThe most important part. Community. Getting to know each other, sharing ideas, building friendships, contaminating each other's thinking.
07 · The rituals

Our format.

  • Sunday + Bi-weekly

    Check & Plan

    Every two weeks, declare your metrics and goals in front of the house. Sundays, quick check-in: what moved, what didn't.

  • Initiation

    Roast My Startup

    Our initiation ritual. We'll let you discover the rest.

  • Throughout

    Hackathons

    Build fast. New ideas. New teams. Real prototypes.

  • Every Friday

    Friday Unplugged

    We log off together: tournaments, drinks or trips. All organized.

  • Recurring

    Sports Tournaments

    Padel, five-a-side, basket, tennis and gym. Founder vs founder — team building that doesn't feel like it.

  • Finale

    Demo Day

    Everything leads here. You step on stage and show what you built to the community, guests and investors.

08 · The people
IFH · Admit one of twentySummer 2026

Twenty builders.

That's it. One house, one summer, twenty seats — no more.

  • Deliberately smallEveryone knows everyone, but something is always happening.
  • Highly selectiveEvery seat is hand-picked. Density over headcount.
  • Flexible staysA week, a month, or the whole summer. Min 7 days.
Meet the cohort
09 · Why you
IFH

This isn't an open call.

We don't select on résumés. We select on what you've built, how you think, and how you show up. Every seat is hand-picked.

If you think one is yours — apply. We'll do the rest.

10 · The vision

One house is
just the start.

This year: one house, twenty builders. Next year? We don't know — and that's the exciting part. The first people who join get to shape what this becomes.

We're not here to run another startup event. We are building the community we wish already existed — the place where Italy's most ambitious builders meet. And we're building it into the closest thing Italy has to its own Silicon Valley.

2026 · One house→A community→Italy's own Silicon Valley
11 · The mission

Content is part
of the mission.

We don't just want to build. We want people to notice. Everything that happens inside IFH will be documented — projects, failures, launches, conversations, guests. Our goal is to tell the story of builders in Italy.

Attention→Talent→Builders→Opportunities

Everyone who joins IFH becomes part of that mission.
Help us tell the story. Help us make people listen.

Italian Founders House

This is the beginning
of something big.

IFH starts with 20 builders. What happens next is up to us.
