Arc House exists for one reason: so you don't have to build alone. It's where founders on Arc platform meet the people building on the same rails, get feedback early, and turn strangers into collaborators, users, and champions.

 Don't wait until your product is polished. Sharing your progress loudly and often is what earns you early feedback, recognition, and the introductions that actually move your company forward. Your idea isn't your moat; your execution and your relationships are.

Here's how to make that happen, step by step.


 that's your home base, connecting you to nearby founders and the wider builder network. If you're 

 too; it's the fastest-moving corner of the community, where onchain agent activity is being figured out in real time.

That's the setup. Five minutes, done once. Everything after this is about what you do with it.


A one-time intro post gets a few likes and disappears. Regular updates build a narrative.

One honest note here. We receive more demo applications than we have slots, so we prioritize based on things like traction, build quality, and community involvement. Which is exactly why the earlier sections matter. Founders who are already visible and active have a real advantage when their application lands on our desk. 


Keep doing standout work and you can land a spot in our

 This is Circle's partner ecosystem, and it opens doors to partnership visibility, the member directory, and deeper collaboration with Circle. One important caveat: it's not for early-stage teams that haven't incorporated yet. If that's you, everything above is your path. The Alliance Program will still be there when you're ready.

The demos, spotlights, grants, and partnerships aren't separate opportunities you apply for cold. They follow naturally from being a visible, consistent part of the community.
