Fellow entrepreneurs!
Here at the Startup Palace, we are striving toward excellence in both life and work, and we are currently accepting applications from individuals who wish to live here. This is an exciting opportunity for any entrepreneur living in Silicon Valley!
There are a few requirements, however. To be eligible for a spot in the Startup Palace, you must:
- Have a building named after you at an Ivy League or equivalent school
- Be able to perform at least 35 pull-ups in succession
- Commute by fixed-gear bicycle and/or sustainable hovercraft
- Live by a system of morals and ethics prescribed in a 19th-century treatise

If you do not meet these requirements, do not bother applying to live in the Startup Palace. The Startup Palace is a home and working space for people* who are serious about changing the world, despite the fact that we have named our space like a fanciful nightmare time-traveling Renaissance Fair exhibition. Amenities include a swimming pool, Chef’s Kitchen, and a retrograde environment that insulates you from the occasionally harsh realities of the very real world that surrounds you.
If this describes you, please apply here, and get ready to have some fun!**
