Who it is for

The space suits early-stage founders, freelancers and small teams who want a professional base on Capitol Hill, especially those working near Congress, federal agencies or policy organizations.

Founders who want access in New York, Chicago or Philadelphia can ask whether their membership covers other Yard locations.
