At PlebLab, we’re empowering the next generation of Bitcoin builders from our hackerspace and community accelerator in Austin, Texas. It represents the belief that anyone can become a builder in the Bitcoin space—regardless of background, pedigree, or location. You don't need permission, just curiosity and tenacity. It’s DIY, sovereign, and collaborative. We cultivate a strong community of developers, hackers, creatives, and founders shipping open-source projects, startups, software, hardware, and code.
