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)

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 a digital-first strategy. 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.

Our mission is broken into 4 phases:

Phase I - Discover
Phase II - Engage
Phase III - Activate
Phase IV - Scale
‍
See roadmap for complete details.

Yes; progressively so. By phase III the platform will be a DAO of DAOs in both supranational and local realms.

You tell us.

Contributing to one another's projects in the ecosystem is the primary way to contribute to build_cities. Our live platform facilitates these collaborations organically and will eventually directly translate to a corresponding level of network ownership and dividends.
