launching today, exclusively on product hunt. You can get a $50 discount by using the promo code: PHUNT50 This seems like a really cool idea for foreign entrepreneurs to get a quick deep-dive into the Silicon Valley ecosystem.

Really cool concept - An Airbnb for founders. I personally know few guys who'd greatly benefit from that! Dmitry, can I reach you over e-mail? Would love to discuss! @dmitriipd

Hey! It's really good! I often travel and it's look like easy way to improve my English
Dmitry
@ruslannaz thank you! It's not only an easy way to improve your English but the most effective and fun way to do this!
Dmitry Dumik
Love the idea, want to try in other places!

Vit Myshlaev
Should I have to be a native English speaker to stay with mentors?
Marina Mogilko
@myshlaev not at all! We have developed this project especially for international founders, who are exploring opportunities for their startup in the Valley and build network here. So you could be doing several things at a time: learning English through conversation about your company, building your netwrok and exploring new culture!
Arjun Dev Arora
Really cool! Spent some time with the founders and heard the story. Super impressive.

Really unique way to learn a language while making some new friends in SV! Can you reveal who some of the first hosts are going to be?
Marina Mogilko
@percival Thank you! Sure! We have mentors from accelerators in the Valley and some great founders who have raised millions for their startups! Really unique people to learn from!
Dmitry
@percival Thank you Sean! You can see some of them on our landing page for PH! By the way a few your colleagues have already signed up as hosts!;)
Dmitry Dumik
Are you only doing this for entrepreneurs? What if someone who is not a founder wants to travel?
Marina Mogilko
@ddumik thanks for asking! Actually, we are starting with startups market, but would expand to other verticals as well!
Sergey
I love it! How did you come up with this idea?
Dmitry
@ligeo Thank you! One day I started thinking: what makes me learn foreign languages? I realized that my most intense language learning experience was when I talked to interesting people about things that I loved. That's how I came up with the idea to connect people across the globe to learn foreign languages based on their common interest.
Roman
Really cool. How do you become a host?
