A founding residency
IRL Portugal
A 4-week residency for entrepreneurs, creatives, and artists seeking community, focus, and adventure.
August 13 — September 10, 2026Algarve, Portugal
Live alongside an intimate group of people in a distraction-free environment designed for deep work, holistic health, powerful friendships and shared experiences.
01 — The premise
Modern life wasn't designed for community.
Most people live alone, work alone, eat alone, and spend more time interacting with screens than other human beings.
Yet why is it that some of our best memories have came from places like college, camp, road trips, hostels, sports teams, and shared living environments. Places where life is experienced together. That's because life is best lived in community, alongside each other.
IRL Residencies exist to recreate that feeling we've all been yearning for.
02 — The format
What is an IRL Residency?
An IRL Residency is a co-living space to temporarily live with each other in community. For four weeks, we will be living together in Portugal and focusing on what actually matters.
