HogPatch operations

HogPatch is our San Francisco coworking space, shared with a handpicked group of YC founders who are active PostHog users. Teammates in the Bay Area (or visiting) are welcome to drop in regularly to work, meet users, gather feedback, or join events we host in the space. Here’s a quick guide to how it all operates.

Judy OpperwallJudy Opperwall, our Office Manager, is on site Mondays to Thursdays from 9am–5pm. For any issues while she is not in, please reach out to the #project-hogpatch channel or DM her directly.

🚧 The space is still a WIP (est. opening Nov 2025) so proactively flag things that need to be fixed.

Building access

PostHog teammates don’t need an invite to use HogPatch — the space is open for you whenever you’re in town. If you know your SF travel dates in advance, it’s helpful to post in the #sf-bay-area channel so we can make sure the space is ready for you.

• If you are visiting for the first time, ring the black intercom doorbell on the front door.
• Judy OpperwallJudy Opperwall will be notified and will remotely unlock the door for you.
• In the future, guests/visitors will be able to unlock doors with digital wallet passes that automatically expire after a set time.
• These passes will be sent to YC founders and PostHog visitors via email invite.
• There’s no check-in or reservations needed, it's a very relaxed setup.

Parking

• We have a garage in the building that allows up to 4–5 cars max.
• This is for internal employees only, and spots are limited.
• Please ask Judy OpperwallJudy Opperwall if you’d like a fob.
• If you don’t plan to drive in often, let Judy OpperwallJudy Opperwall know beforehand so she can let you in/out on the day you visit. Always remember to close the garage door when leaving the premises. If you're worried you have forgotten, can double check this via CCTV.

Housekeeping

How to make service/supply requests

• If you notice anything missing or that needs replenishing, reach out to Judy OpperwallJudy Opperwall on the #project-hogpatch channel.

• We’ll have teething problems while we figure out how folks use the space, so bear with us. We are constantly learning.

• A cleaner is scheduled to come in once a week to tidy up and water plants. This will be updated when we open to YC founders/frequent visitors.

• A gardener comes in every two weeks to maintain the plants around the space.

FYIs

• Please turn off the lights in the building if you’re the last to leave for the night.
  (The phone booths have lights that will automatically turn off.)

• If you see unfamiliar faces (that don’t look like YC founders), they’re most likely contractors we've hired.
  Judy is tracking all temporary visitors. If you have concerns, raise them with her.
