Sapien
Overview
Member venue + house in an Austin neighborhood (second-highest crime area per Mackenze, 5-11). Originally Brian's property; L484 took over via lease. Repositioned 2026-05-04 from clubhouse to event venue ("worth $500/hr"; "bleeding money hand over fist" as a clubhouse). No-storage policy ("a national park"). 15 roles chartered via Halfocracy (4-27).
Economics
- Membership tiers: $350/mo (Sapien only) / $550/mo (all locations); $350 allocation: $100 co-working, $25 coffee, $50 IT/front store, 10-15 Upgrade Labs sessions (numbers conflicted across meetings — confirm), 20%-markup hardware, members' market.
- Event pricing evolved: $200+/hr private (4-27) → $400/hr baseline + 4hr min + 2h setup/teardown, members 50% off, non-member private $1,000/hr, public $15/head (5-4).
- Revenue lines: events, memberships, bootcamps, enterprise services, hardware, vending, meat, milk & grocery.
- $15-20k facilities work needed (furniture, water heater, 15-item buy/do list).
Lease history (critical)
- 5-29: landlord defaulted; 7-day ultimatum; lease saved — Trust member provided money, Zack (Reimagine Ranch) signed; LOI pending insurance.
- 6-15: public events blocked under Brian's commercial insurance → events private/PMA-only until L484 buys its own commercial insurance (owner TBD).
- 7-10 → 8-10: lease still unsigned, old lease missing; 30-day rent hold; Blaze/Daniel (Prague); Angel/Blaze/Poly negotiate; Shadrach guarantor.
- 8-10: gated on Ben (missed Friday message); 2 free months runway.
- 8-14: FF lease signed (separate entity, GeoGRO); weekly rhythm Mon-Wed lab / Thurs-Sat Solarpunk / Sunday church.
Operations
- Staff: Jay + Tom employed, living in the house (5-11, 3-month trial); Asif housing; Zaza desk room; staff accountability = on-site Telegram + weekly all-hands, one task/person/week (5-25).
- Security: gate always locked; door code changed; $20 wireless doorbell; enforcement ladder (sacred pause → yellow/red card → ban); NDA + non-disparagement signed by members.
- Schedule (biweekly themed): Mon men's, Tue tech, Wed women's wellness, Truth Thursdays, Freedom Fridays, Sat Bitcoin walk 2-6pm, Sun Lord's day.
- Open/closing duties: see Sapien Opening and Closing Checklist.
- Cold plunges: declared dead 5-18 (Chinese parts unavailable; $8-10k to replace) — reversal of 4-27 "working plunges" baseline.
