An Experimental
Hacker Residency
in Da Nang, Vietnam
April 21st – June 1st, 2026
We're inviting 10 ambitious founders to come live and build with us for 6 weeks at a dope villa in SE Asia.
With one goal: to lock in and build!
Led by world-class hackers
The villa
A stunning 14-bedroom villa with pool, workspace, and ocean views.
Fully equipped for focused work.
And the best part: it's 100% free
We don't take any equity or rev share.
You only need to pay for your flights.
We cover the villa, food, laundry, your own private bedroom + bathroom + workstation, a professional videographer, and we even have some surprises in store as well...
Wait, why are we doing this for free?
HRG started as an experiment with a few goals in mind:
1. Shine an spotlight on the indie hacker lifestyle 🔥
2. Build a new type of international dev community focused on more ambitious digital nomads
3. Make friends, vibe, and learn from each other! 🤙
Demo day + up to $100k in funding 🔥
We cap the batch off with a demo day + livestream including some of the best investors from around the world.
And for the first time ever, we'll be directly offering up to $100k in funding to the top teams.
