## About

The Hacker Building is a community-first, tech-only coworking space in a canal house at Herengracht 551 in the centre of Amsterdam, between Thorbeckeplein and Vijzelstraat. It grew out of a members-run coworking community, and today it brings together software engineers, designers, bootstrapping founders, freelance developers, remote tech workers and small startup teams, more than half of them from outside the Netherlands. Everyone has a permanent desk large enough for three screens: a dedicated desk costs €450 a month and an electric sit-stand desk €550 a month, both plus VAT, on two months' notice with a two-month deposit; private offices for startup teams of 3–4 up to 4–8 people are available on request. Prices are all-inclusive: 24/7 access, meeting-room use, unlimited coffee and tea, mail handling and Chamber of Commerce registration, with no upsells. The building has phone booths, a kitchen, a quiet garden with Wi-Fi coverage, an honesty bar and symmetrical 1-gigabit fibre with a backup line. Members share catered lunches three days a week, show-and-tells, group dinners and an active Slack; you get to know the community by joining them for lunch first.
