Last week, we said we don’t hire often. The response was kind of wild.
Apparently, when we do, we make up for lost time.
As we work to close Fund II, we’re opening one more role: Idea Runner.

We’re hiring a technical leader at the studio!
We're about to close our second fund. We don't hire often. Today we are.
Neighborhood Studios (@goodstuffnearby) is hiring a technical leader.
Some context: we're a venture studio based in Atlanta. Each year, we evaluate 2,000 ideas, dive deep on 60 of them, run 10 real-world experiments & launch 2 companies.
Some examples...
joinhomegrown.com
hidandy.com
loopstuff.com
januarymemorials.com
justzingit.com
They all started this way.
This role is the builder's seat for the companies we launch in Fund II.
You won't inherit a roadmap. You'll take an idea from prototype to product to real revenue — then do it again with the next one. Full-stack, hands-on, days-not-quarters.
AI gives a small team like ours absurd leverage, and this person will be at the center of it.
Who thrives here: people who'd rather ship a first version this week than plan a perfect one this quarter.
If that's you — or someone you know — the full posting is here: hiring.neighborhoodstudios.c…
Know a builder who'd love this? Tag them or share this post. The best people we've worked with came through someone who knew them.

Five books helped shape my thinking as I was getting @goodstuffnearby off the ground.
Interesting...only one of them is a "business book."

ATTENTION PARENTS IN ATLANTA 🚨
Neighborhood Studios (@goodstuffnearby) is testing an idea to help busy parents get sports training for their child (age: 6-14).
We also need high school athletes looking to make some extra $ to do sports reps with younger athletes (age: 15-18).

At Neighborhood Studios (@goodstuffnearby) we’re exploring an idea to help ATL-based influencers plan in-person events without the stress.
Please comment or tag if you know any influencers in Atlanta.
Any type of influencer works. Local food and drink influencers. Culture and Arts Influencers. Fashion influencers. Fitness and Wellness Influencers. Etc.
Our focus is smaller, ATL-focused influencers. Ideal IG follower count is 10,000 to 40,000 followers.

Me and my wife have been @Airbnb hosts for five years and we really love it.
However there’s a real job & skillset needed to be a host, so the vast majority of people are left out.
At @goodstuffnearby we saw an opportunity to create another way and @tryswiftstay is launching today for our members.
As I’m preparing my home to be on the platform, it’s refreshingly different than being an Airbnb host. More like a friend staying.
I suspect a major shift is happening here that’s too early to see clearly.
