Living with other founders: community or chaos?
The upside is momentum, informal advice, and people who understand an odd schedule. The downside is comparison, endless work talk, visitors, irregular sleep, and a home that never powers down.
Before moving in, agree on quiet hours, guest rules, cleaning, calls, shared work space, and boundaries around company discussion. Make room for non-work friendships and time alone.
Community is a resource. Chaos begins when no one can say, “Not tonight.”
