DevLabs Launches Hacker House to Ignite Arizona’s Student Startup Scene

DevLabs’ summer house brings YC-style energy to Arizona’s startup scene

At just 19 years old, app developer and indie hacker Dhanush Vardhan is becoming one of the most prolific community builders on the Arizona startup map. This summer, he’s turning up the heat with DevHouse, a six-week founder residency and builder bootcamp hosted by his student-led initiative, DevLabs.

Starting June 26, Dev House will bring 20 early-stage founders—mostly students—under one roof in Phoenix, where they’ll live, build, and pitch side by side. The program, which runs through August 2, offers weekly mentorship from VCs, seasoned operators, and Fortune 500 execs, and ends with a demo day in front of investors.
