Update with the price and 1,600, also putting together an FAQ with all the questions that popped up today.

Co-Founder here, happy to answer any questions.

Some of you might know this from last year when we put the idea out there with a wonderfully unpronounceable name http://www.thecaravanserai.co ...

Always good to have an opportunity to point to https://medium.com/bull-market/a-cynic-s-guide-to-fintech-3c...

"Fintech business model #1. Reinventing past mistakes of the banking industry because you don’t know about adverse selection"

Matt Levine with one of the most clever lines (as often) regarding the changing valuation dynamics:

"The public stock markets are increasingly about capital return rather than capital raising."

And often it's convertibles or outright debt, senior to any equity.

So the question for those pretty smart investors who have trouble finding good places for their money is not if AirBnB is or will be worth 20B, but rather 1-2 billion.

There's so much incredible stuff around Berlin, favorite so far is https://www.google.com/search?q=Beelitz-Heilstätten

Thats the goal, 3 locations on 3 continents is the MVP so to speak.

Thanks, fixed!

Hi, if you refer to the site you can fork it anytime at https://github.com/brunohaid/houseofcards but it's still utterly broken on mobiles, will release a better version hopefully soon.

Sure. Pricing is per room.

Hi Tony, thanks! WeWork is working on this, in Europe you have things like https://copass.org/ launched by Betahaus and others.

Co-working is extremely interesting for us, as there are many lessons why some worked and scaled, and why most of it didn't. A lot to learn.

I wish there was a "really, really upvote this comment" button on HN.

Containers are indeed a great idea for less permanent locations, otherwise solid constructions beats containers after a few years.

Thanks Lukasz, appreciated!

There are a lot of differences in the way the whole things work, from the practical architecture to the funding model (investors and 'subscribers' are not necessarily the same people etc).

Happy to make answer more specific questions about the differences.

You're right, will update later today once the HN onslaught is quieting down a bit.

No age restrictions, actively gender balanced, we don't really make the latter distinction.

Thanks, appreciated, including the language. The good thing is: We only need 120 good people to make it work.

And we hope there are many more in cities like NY, SF or London.

Hi! We tried doing as you described, but the way we wanted it to be can only be done if you own the whole stack, thus building it ourselves.

It's a completely different target group, what you describe is being done nicely by people like nomadhouse.io and a lot of single location providers.

Exactly, thanks for posting the details.

One could argue that global gentrification is inherently impossible...

Thanks!

1300 for your own place?!?!? ;-)

Hi, sorry for the non-disclosure: Pieter is part of the external advisory team, so mentioning him feels like mentioning other nomad* startups and it's definitely a good go to source.

That's a giant topic, as always, especially if you choose to spend a critical time threshold at a certain location (> ~6 months a year normally). We do plan to offer informal advice on topics like this as a service, but there are so many options (keep residing in your home country, choose a location like Estonia etc) that it's hard to do this as a legally binding service.

But again: It's manageable, literally millions of people do it.

It's most central, so no matter if you want to surf in Uluwatu, have drinks in Canggu or go spearfishing in Amed, you can reach all of Bali quite easily.

I do get the slightly bad esoteric rep Ubud has, but it also got a very vibrant "getiing shit done" community.

Are your doubt more about location or other issues?

It's utterly broken on mobiles, will fix that hopefully soon, feel free to fork at https://github.com/brunohaid/houseofcards

Agree (also waiting for someone to recreate Uber as a protocol).

Not sure where Artur is heading with nomadhouse.io , but that might be an option.

Thanks! Very much so.

Things are changing very fast atm, as most countries realize that it's a good group of people to have.

Eg Thailands new 6 months Visa explicitly includes remote work.
