What's The Best Founder Community in SF Other Than YC?

Y Combinator is probably the best founder community in the world. What I want to know is what are the top 2-5 after them? I am not referring to accelerators as much as high signal places for builders to congregate together, connect, and build. I am in SF now and am spending time at Founders Inc., HF0, and The Residency. How do those stack up? What else is out there? Would love your thoughts.

@busmark_w_nika @mat_sherman Did you search on @Hive Index? :)

You are already hitting the other important communities 😉

I would also add the SF Commons which is both a co-working space and a community, this is in the heart of Cerebral Valley (aka. Hayes Valley).

Don't miss out on @heavybit for anything Developer-related; if you are building for developers, hang out there and attend their events; so much good knowledge and best practices are being shared.

SF is then full of ad-hoc opportunities to meet other fellow founders via events or meetups, Check out the SFIRL newsletter to find out what's going on this week.
