Sebastian (The Residency)

Sebastian is the The Residency operator/interviewee in 探访 Hacker House：硅谷年轻人，正在搬进「AI 创业宿舍」｜ S10E10. The source uses him to explain the hacker-house taxonomy: informal friend houses, branded but mainly rent-driven houses, and equity-driven houses that exchange founder support for company ownership.

Sebastian also supplies several of the episode’s core operating claims. He says The Residency founders’ companies have produced roughly $3 billion in combined valuation over recent years, describes non-local founder entry into the Bay Area as Founder Network Arbitrage, and estimates the San Francisco operating cost of The Residency at roughly $2 million to $2.5 million per year.
