Built by builders.

Three co-founders, four cities, and the best tools in the world. Here's who we are and where we're going.

A letter from the founders

We started Habitat because we noticed something weird: Europe is full of builders, but they don't know each other.

People are shipping AI tools in their bedrooms in Ghent, hacking on side projects after work in Brussels, building startups from dorm rooms in Leuven. The same thing is happening in London, Istanbul, Berlin. But there was no connective tissue. No place to just show up, build next to someone, and see what happens.

So we made one. Free events. No pitching, no panels, no "networking." Just rooms full of people who make things, powered by the best tools in the world.

We're three people running this across four cities, expanding to more. AI does the rest. That's not a flex, it's the point. If we can build a community like this with almost no resources, imagine what the people inside it can build.

Habitat is the home base for builders in Europe. And we're just getting started.
