Hey HN,

I've partnered w/ indie hacking legends Tony Dinh and Minh-Phuc Tran to host a new type of month-long Hacker Residency at a dope villa in Da Nang, Vietnam, this November, 2025.

*This is an experiment*

We're looking for 10 experienced devs who want to lock in with us for a month to take their startup / indie game to the next level!

We're also looking for some select sponsors who align w/ our mission to help us cover our costs (program is free for residents unless you've taken venture funding, and includes housing, cleaning, catering, laundry, etc for the month).

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I went through a program like this (hf0) and it really did help us get more done. But that was in the heart of sf. So interested to see if the concept can cross cultures. I bet it can.

Worth noting that Vietnam offers 45-day visa-free entry for many nationalities now, perfect timing for this residency. For others, e-visas are relatively straightforward and can be obtained online.

Never applied this quickly for something in my life. Great opportunity thanks!

i know you said this is an experiment but are there goals behind the project or is it more a “let’s see what happens” ??
