This story reminded me of a story I heard in 2017, during a cocktail party.

Some entrepreneur had worked out a lease for living space, in the commercial heart of a large urban city....living in what during daytime is *literally* some VC office. He would come in at 8pm+ when the VC staff had left, and leave in the AM to work. And he paid a ridiculous low amount of rent to have what was effectively a 25K lease at market price.

Not sure what exactly was the motivation for the VC to agree to this (imagine having a bed in your office?) but , wondering if there is an underground network for this that im not aware of?

That's just an Entrepreneur-"in-Residence".

Sounds like it might be breaking some kind of building usage code.

But the VC might have a free nighttime security guard, and coffee machine warmed up for breakfast time.
