Hacker Dojo is a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) community center and hackerspace that is based in Mountain View, California. Predominantly an open working space for software projects, the Dojo hosts technology classes for biology, computer hardware, and manufacturing events.[1][2][3]

The Dojo is run mostly democratically by its membership.[4][5][failed verification] The Dojo is primarily financed through membership dues ($150/mo), but has accepted 3rd party sponsorships from Microsoft,[6] Google, Isocket, Twilio, AMS Dataserfs,[7] and Palantir Technologies.
