Tired of male-dominated hacker houses, 20-year-old co-founder Cantillon established HackHer House, the first all-female hacker house in the San Francisco Bay Area. Cantillon's vision is to create a space where energetic women can collaborate and solve problems together.
"I had lived in a few hacker house s before and wanted to replicate that energy," said Cantillon, 20, co-founder of HackHer House and founder of the startup NOX. "A place where really energetic, hardcore people came together to solve problems. But every house I lived in was mostly male. It was obvious to me that I wanted to do the inverse and build an all-female hacker house that created the same dynamic but with women.
"A hacker house is a shared living space where builders and innovators come together to work on their own projects while collaborating with others," said Jennifer Li, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz and sponsor of the HackHer House. "It's a community that thrives on creativity and resource sharing, making it a cost-effective solution for those in high-rent areas like Silicon Valley, where talented founders and engineers can easily connect and support each other.
"We're trying to break stereotypes here," said Garg, 21, a rising senior at Stanford University. "This house isn't just about living together; it's about creating a community where women can thrive in tech."
