Founding Community

Acorn Club is a new kind of place being built in Oakland. The Acorn Club is envisioned as a third space that will bring together wellness, work, food, and community under one roof in a historic building, designed for everyday use, community gatherings, and milestone celebrations.

We’re building our Founding Member community now. Founding Members are the people who will shape what this becomes before the doors open. Joining costs nothing. It means you’ll hear from us first, you’ll be invited to early gatherings, and when we open, you’ll have been part of this from the beginning.

This takes about two minutes. We ask a few questions because your answers will genuinely shape how we design this place.


Right now, how do you piece together your daily routine across work, wellness, food, and social life? What’s working, and what feels like it’s held together with duct tape?

If a place existed in Oakland that combined some of these things (say, a workout, a good meal, a place to work, and a real community) in a single, beautiful building you could go to most days, what would matter most to you about how it felt and how it worked?

Is there anything you’d want to bring to a project like this (an expertise, a connection, an idea, a skill) or anything else you’d want us to know?
