Inside the London hacker house taking a stand against founder burnout
A London hacker house is trying to replace the exhausting founder-house culture with a model built around rest, shared responsibility and sustainable work. Residents collaborate on technology projects while setting limits on hours and encouraging exercise, meals and social time. The experiment reflects growing concern about burnout among startup founders. Its organisers argue that healthier routines can improve creativity and long-term performance rather than weaken ambition.
