Great idea! How are you about startup founders visiting? Coz I just applied for a couple of days next week!
(ps: Anyone else going to the SaaStr Annual in San Francisco on Feb 5? I'm stupidly excited about it! I live in Minnesota and we don't get cool stuff like that here.)
I know a bunch of people from the UK heading to SF fundraising over the next few months, would be great if something like this existed for people like them.
Also, if anyone else in the SF/Silicon Valley area feels like hosting an out-of-town founder in the enterprise space for a few days in early February... hey, hotels are expensive, I'm poor, and I ain't too proud to beg.
If you have a guitar lying around, I can even play a tune or three.
If your budget is above $0 but below hotel rates, have you looked at airbnb? Try searching keyword 'hacker'. There's a lot of extra rooms and hostel-type setups around.
Wish I had a better setup for hosting tech folks, but my friends end up having perpetual dibs on my futon and sharing a single bathroom can suck...
