Your residency in San Francisco
Whether you're here for three days or three months, a residency means arriving with a purpose and leaving with relationships. Launch Quarters takes care of where you stay and everything around it. Malaika helps you meet the people you came for.
First 3 months free for eligible early-stage founders. Current membership options apply afterward.
Message Launch QuartersVisit Launch QuartersGetting here isn't the hard part
Anyone can book a flight. What's hard is arriving with the right people already expecting you, and nothing pulling you away from them once you land. A residency takes care of both.
Every residency has a shape
Conference week
A few days for an event, and a real sense of what living here would be like.
Fundraising trip
One to three weeks near your meetings, with people who can sharpen the pitch before you walk in.
Build sprint
A few weeks heads-down with your team or close to customers.
Program stay
Housing for the length of your batch, near your cohort, with a network that reaches beyond it.
Testing the move
One to three months of real routines, to find out whether San Francisco should be home.
Two halves of a residency
The stay and the week: Launch Quarters
Launch Quarters matches you to a furnished, hosted stay near the people you need to be close to: your cohort, your investors, or your team. Then SF Concierge takes the errands off your plate. Text Sophie, a real person on the Check-In Hospitality team in San Francisco, and they handle it: meals made for how you eat, laundry picked up and returned, your place cleaned, rides sorted, a quiet table booked for an investor coffee, or a dinner planned for the customers you want to meet. One thread, a reply within 30 minutes, day or night.
Weekly plans start from $100. Or pay per request: every quote is one all-in price that already includes our 15% fee.
The people: Malaika Commons
Founder dinners where you meet the same people more than once. Office Hours with someone who has already solved your problem. Introductions made with context, when there's a real fit on both sides. All of it continues after you fly home.
What Malaika members get
- SF Concierge from your first day, including during an early-stage founder's free first three months.
- 5% of your Launch Quarters stay back, to spend with SF Concierge.
- A founder community that keeps going after you check out.
