localhost:howard
localhost is a new builder-focused workspace and activation platform from Gourmet Provisions and Dimes, opening initially as localhost:howard at 645 Howard Street in downtown San Francisco, with plans to open localhost:natoma at 165 Natoma Street, adjacent to SFMOMA.
Built for founders, entrepreneurs, engineers, product developers, freelancers, remote operators, and small teams building new products, companies, and ideas, localhost combines flexible workspace with a hospitality-driven, lightweight incubator environment: desks, meeting rooms, builder programming, community, office hours, demo nights, workshops, events, and access to resources that help early-stage builders launch and grow. Dimes serves as the builder group and community layer - bringing together the people, projects, meetups, demos, talks, hackathons, and founder culture - while Gourmet Provisions provides the operating backbone: venues, hospitality, food and beverage, event production, corporate relationships, and downtown activation infrastructure.
By day, localhost functions as a focused place to work, meet, collaborate, and build; by night, it becomes a launch platform for product showcases, workshops, founder gatherings, brand activations, and community programming. Larger member activations, including hackathons, major talks, showcases, and higher-capacity events, will take place across the broader Gourmet Provisions venue network, including Dimes Gallery at 667 Howard and The Howard at 661 Howard, turning the Howard Street corridor into a connected downtown builder campus. The core promise is simple: work here during the day; launch here at night.
Get Started At Localhost
Build With Dimes.
Members create a single builder profile that becomes their passport to the localhost ecosystem. Once set up, that profile allows them to purchase membership passes, manage access, reserve workspace and meeting rooms, register for programming, and unlock the broader builder resources offered through localhost, Dimes, and Gourmet Provisions - including community events, office hours, workshops, demo nights, and launch opportunities. The goal is simple: set up once, join once, and use one identity to work, connect, build, and launch across the platform.
