Makers House

What Makers House does

Maker's House operates a 4-week residential program in Croatia (Brac Island) designed for European creators and makers with entrepreneurial ambitions. The inaugural cohort, "House One," is scheduled to run September 4 through October 3, with prospective residents applying through selective, application-based admission distributed via referral-style bit.ly links. The program combines co-living, project collaboration, fireside chats, in-house experts, Twitch streaming, and mentorship from a curated bench of guest speakers spanning creators, an AI researcher, an investor, and community leaders, with the explicit stated objective of building "a lifelong community of creators and makers" and "a European startup network."

The company has no proprietary technology product; its offering is the physical residency experience itself. Distribution is community-led and event-driven: applications spread via word-of-mouth within European creator and maker networks, with the residency serving as the primary engagement touchpoint and a blog, Instagram (@mkrshse), email newsletter, and Twitch channel sustaining between-cohort engagement. The company employs 16 people, operates from Croatia, and reports its market scope as Europe.

The revenue model is not publicly disclosed. The firmographics record the entity as a non-profit, while structured company data classifies it as privately held with no institutional investors or parent company identified. No funding rounds, ownership stakes, or financial figures are available. The revenue-model tag "subscription_recurring" and the "House One" cohort naming suggest an intent to operate repeat cohorts as the primary monetization unit, but pricing, participant fees, sponsorship arrangements, and unit economics are not disclosed.
