What membership means
One membership. Everything included.
Private Slack Community
A private Slack full of founders building with AI. Honest feedback, real answers, zero noise.
Two Spaces in Lisbon
Work from Alvalade or Santos whenever you want a pulse — real rooms full of people who move like you.
Founder Sessions & Events
IRL and online. Unscheduled, informal, productive — and intentionally small offline events.
Capital & Acceleration
For some companies, Poolside invests — capital, introductions, and hands-on technical help.
Collaboration
Work with other members — hiring, partnerships, and projects that start over coffee.
Chosen by Members
Every application is reviewed by current members. The bar keeps the room worth being in.
How joining works
Apply
Tell us who you are, what you’re building, and what you want from the community. It takes five minutes.
Member review
Current members review every application. An invitation from a member helps, but isn’t required.
Welcome in
If approved, you get access to Slack, both Lisbon spaces, and everything that happens inside.
