From the Cloud

To the City

Cloud-to-City Activation

By leveraging community tools and decentralized finance, we are building the full-stack of capabilities for seeding, financing, and governing build_[city] chapters in the cloud and actualizing these resources on the ground.

build_[city] Startup Ecosystems

The first IRL component of build_cities will be the formation of 3rd spaces which are either staked or crowdfunded real estate assets surfaced by the network. The Innovation Den in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (pictured below) is our first live property and the blueprint for future startup ecosystems.

Coeur d'Alene now has 2x more startups per capita than the rest of the state, 2x nine figure startups, 80K sq ft. of activated real estate for mixed-use creative-commercial tenants, and even legislative wins for AI and robotics innovation in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a startup city?

There are three different types of startup cities:

1. A city that attracts startups (ex. Austin, Bangalore, Lisbon)
2. A city that runs like a startup (ex. Miami , Singapore, Dubai)
3. A city that is a startup itself (ex. Culdesac in Tempe AZ, Prospera in Honduras)

For a complete map of startup cities around the world and the methodology for identifying them, check out the Startup Cities Map

So...what exactly is build_cities doing?

We're creating the infrastructure to create, finance, and govern startup cities around the globe starting with fostering Type 1 startup cities (see above FAQ) with digital-first tools. While some of these efforts will naturally start to overlap with Type 2 & 3 startup cities, the core of our efforts is focused on unlocking innovation in every corner of the globe from the bottoms up.

How will you achieve this?

Our mission is broken into 4 phases:

Phase I - build_citizenry (Current phase)
Phase II - build_assets (Subsidize innovation and crowdfund real estate)
Phase III - build_cities (Buy more real estate and digitally thread the properties together)
Phase IV - build_sovereignty (TBD)
‍
See our roadmap for more details.

Will build_cities be a DAO?

Yes; progressively so.

Is this a Network State?

You tell us.
