Sign up to be a host

Share your Silicon Valley experience with amazing and well vetted international founders. Through a new program offered by LinguaTrip (a 500 Startups company) you can now easily open your home to help teach and inspire founders from abroad. Make new friends, share your skills and earn money while doing what you love!

How it works

• You provide us information on your background, spare room/coach, and price you are willing to charge per night and per mentorship hour
• We place your profile on our platform LinguaTrip (booking engine for language immersions all over the world)
• You’re now ready to start receiving requests from founders. You have the ability to approve or decline requests at your discretion. There is no obligation to accept booking unless you’re absolutely sure the guest is a perfect match for your home

What and who to expect

• Carefully selected founders from around the world who are looking to relocate to Silicon Valley and/or build a network here
• Guests who have a basic knowledge of English (no sign language needed)

We really need you if you

• Are a native English speaker
• Live in the Bay Area
• Have a spare room/coach
• Are connected to the Silicon Valley startup ecosystem (investor, advisor, entrepreneur, mentor, etc.)
• Willing to commit at least half an hour a day to communicate with and help a foreign entrepreneur (that could be over breakfast, lunch, etc.)
