The Vision Behind Surnx

We started with a simple but deeply human problem: as remote workers traveling often and founders, it was difficult to find real connections, friends, partners. It wasn't just an emotion—it was a barrier to growth, creativity, and resilience. We longed for places where work felt alive, where we could be inspired by others, where accommodation and community blended into a shared experience.

That's why we built Surnx. A way to work and network anywhere.

But our story doesn't stop there. As we grew, we saw the same struggles repeating themselves—this time not just for digital nomads, but for founders. Brilliant minds being stuck because they didn't know where to find that person that can help them. Traveling to looking their dream but facing problems finding housing, finding connections, finding inspiration—it was the same challenge, on a bigger stage.

So now, we're stepping up. We're here to help more founders, to turn hacker houses into thriving hubs of innovation. Because the future isn't built alone—it's built together.

Surnx exists for the dreamers who refuse to do it all in isolation. For the founders who know that the right space, the right people, and the right spark can change everything.

Together, we're not just solving a problem. We're building the places where tomorrow is born.
