The Clubhouse is a private gathering place for Founders & Co. members located near the beach in Encinitas. Featuring a barista staffed private coffee bar and casual spaces designed to bring members together, members can use the common area coffee lounge for casual meetings and conversations, shared worktables and standing desks to code up a new feature or get through their inbox, our Brainstorming Room to develop the next big idea, the Founders & Co. Podcast Studio to record those conversations you want to share with the world, Private Meeting Rooms with video conferencing to nail that investor meeting or customer demo, and our community spaces to host team sessions, work on big ideas, and push your company forward.
