Membership — Apollo Innovation Commons

Fall / Winter 2026

Are you looking for THAT place?

Apollo opens fall/winter 2026 in San Francisco, a permanent home for education, incubation, research, design and capital under one roof. We cannot wait to welcome our first cohort of visionaries.

What membership gives you

A desk in the commons. Coworking in the building, next to the labs, the studios, and everyone else building here.
Rooms for your own events. Members host in Apollo’s spaces: salons, workshops, demo nights, whatever you are convening. Two conditions: the event aligns with what Apollo is for, and the value it creates is shared back into the commons.
Shared bounties. Paid, open problems posted by members, labs and partners. Take one, or post one.
Skillshare. Members teach what they know, so you learn wet-lab technique or governance design from the person down the hall.
Eight lab clusters under one roof. AI, bio and consciousness tech, human flourishing, climate, art and culture, civics, robotics, and moral inquiry, arranged so you keep colliding with other disciplines.
A voice in how it runs. Members who take on the unpaid work of keeping the place going earn standing in the decisions about it.
Your founding rate, locked for your first three months, and your name in the record of who was here first.

The first believers

What do you want to have built in ten years? For most of us the honest answer is something too large to do alone.

Every institution that ended up mattering began with a small number of people who backed it while it was still unfinished. By the time the world agreed that Bell Labs or PARC had been inevitable, the people who made them possible had been in the room for years.

We are stronger together.

A year of running this community taught us the same lesson over and over. The work that mattered came from people who would never otherwise have met, kept close enough and long enough to help each other. The building is what keeps them close.

That is why we say real estate is the infrastructure and community is the asset. A building is worth what it lets people do. The people are what compounds, so that is where we are spending: on gatherings, on stewardship, on the shared work that turns eighty strangers into colleagues.

Eighty places to start, so everyone can know everyone. If you are reading this before the doors open, you are early on purpose.

Where things stand

The first eighty places

Membership is $250 a month. A $50 deposit holds one of the first eighty places and locks a founding rate of $160 or $180 for your first three months. Each mark below is one membership, and filled marks are taken. When a band fills, the rate steps up for everyone after it.

The terms

What the deposit does

The deposit holds your place in the band you selected and locks that rate for your first three months of membership.
Your membership still needs approval. Every member completes a full application at launch, reviewed by the Apollo team. The deposit reserves the place; the application decides the membership.
Fully refundable at any point until you submit your full member application at launch. Ask, and we return it. No reason needed.
It becomes your first month. Once you are approved, the deposit applies to your first month of membership.
If we are unable to offer you a place, the deposit is returned in full.
Payment is handled by Stripe. Your place is held for 30 minutes while you check out, and is released if you do not finish.
