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.
Your field manual for Bitcoin & Lightning development. Start building, contribute to FOSS-first projects, and level-up fast.
A four-month hybrid program (June–Sept 2025) packed with weekly coaching, workshops, and demo-day prep for early-stage Bitcoin startups.

PlebLab sprouted from the Austin Bitcoin Club and now fuels a monthly meetup with @BTCBuildersClub, hosted at Capital Factory.
Since summer 2025, we’ve been creating a recurring event that fits Austin’s vibrant tech community—bridging Bitcoin and builder culture where people gather day and night, online and IRL, for meetups, classes, and co-working. RSVP for the latest one.
