@andrew_bagasbas @nico_laqua @UseCorgi @brookeleblanc Still working at the beach? NICE! What a shitty way to spend a beach day. Also, the beach sucks. Go to the mountains.

Trying something new for the next month. Daily @UseCorgi posts. Day 1/1
To the marketing/influencer experts, is this an effective strategy?
@brookeleblanc what do you think?

Tomorrow, Sunday, 9 Claude Lane SF.
The iconic @UseCorgi Cafe is turning into a founder build room.
We’re hosting a cowork & build session with @floothq for people who actually want to sit down, build with AI, and launch something same day.
Not another networking event full of larpers.
Just builders, coffee, corgis, and momentum.
2-5pm. RSVP link 👇

@cankoseoglu That was my thoughts too, made me think “damn their coffee must be extra caffeinated” 😂😂

It’s 11:00pm on a Friday night in San Francisco and Corgi Café is packed.
I don’t mean “a few people working late.” I mean the room actually has energy. Laptops open, conversations happening, people building, pitching, debugging, recruiting, thinking.
It almost feels like an airport terminal for builders.
Airports are one of the few places that operate 24/7. People are always arriving, leaving, waiting, working, moving. Everyone has somewhere to go.
Corgi Café, also operating 24/7, has that same feeling, but for startups. People coming in and out at strange hours, everyone on their own mission, nobody fully switched off.
I came to SF for three months to understand if the energy was real. I had heard all the usual things from founders and investors. “You need to move to SF.” “AI is happening here.” “You need to be in the room.” These things can sound very generic from the outside.
Then you walk into a café at 11pm on a Friday night and it is full of builders.
That is when it starts to make sense.
In most cities, Friday night is when people switch off. In SF, there are still places where people are meeting, building and pushing.
That is what makes the city different. It is not just capital. It is not just talent. It is the density of ambition. The fact that you can randomly end up in a room where everyone is working on something.
Corgi Café feels like one of those rooms.
What @nico_laqua, @emily_yuan_ and the @UseCorgi team built here feels very SF: part café, part community space, part signal that builders still want to be around other builders in person.
This is the kind of room that explains why people still come to SF.
