Layer Zero is different

Sponsorship looms behind tech meetups and conferences in the Twin Cities. Advertisements everywhere, recruiting pitches, and worst of all, the undercurrent of "professionalism" deciding who does or doesn't belong.

We can do better than a soul-less exchange of business cards.

Street Address / Contact

The address hasn't been published yet, but you can easily find us by getting in touch. For more information, visit layerze.ro/street-address.html

We built Layer Zero for ourselves, and for our community.

Equal parts office, lab, clubhouse, and coffee spot, we want Layer Zero to be the gathering place for non-corporate related hackers and creators from our cities. We fund it ourselves, so you don't have to worry who's behind it. It's us. (And you too, if you want: opencollective.com/layerzero)

It's on a transit line. There's food nearby. There's heat, chairs, coffee, and creativity. A cute backdoor space to use during our nicer seasons. A warm indoor space to cower in through winter. Oh, and a mini-fridge. And a renovated bathroom.

We have COVID policies and aren't weird about masks. We know we're living in a hellscape timeline, we'd just rather work through it together and maybe build something beautiful.

Interested?

If you think that computing should be:

                         open
creative
               inspiring
                              inclusive
        communal
                        privacy-respecting
  ethical
            delightful

Then we could use your help. Help us close the old world and open the next.
