Edge Cityis a “society incubator” dedicated to advancing human flourishing.‍We host monthlong popup villages where people at the frontiers of technology, science, and culture live and work together. Each village is an environment for running real experiments on new ideas and collaborations. Our driving belief is that breakthroughs happen when curious, kind, and high-agency people share space and momentum.Each village brings together a few hundred residents to live, learn, and build side by side. Shared meals, daily workouts, and open-ended schedules create the perfect environment for collaboration and experimentation. The temporary nature of these events creates freedom to experiment outside of the box, mixed with a shared sense of urgency and ambition to build and ship before the end of the month. It's innovation at its most creative, health at its most natural, and community at its most fun.Our villages are grounded in four core principles:Build and co-create: Everyone contributes. Edge City is a place to build.Multidisciplinary connections: Breakthroughs happen when fields intersect.Default healthy: Villages are designed for health, energy, and focus.Multigenerational: Families, kids, and elders enrich the community.Read more about our approachhere.Tech is moving fast; society isn’t.The systems that shape our time—institutions, norms, governance structures—were made for a prior world. Ones that worked in the past are now rigid and slow-moving, unable to evolve to meet the opportunities and challenges of the current moment. By creating “micro-exits,” we create space to experiment with new systems, technologies, and practices. What works in these experimental environments can then be shared with society, shaping a better future for everyone.We are building a ‘network city’: a global network of interconnected hubs that will run experiments and share learnings with people and ideas flowing freely. Some hubs will be temporary, while others will grow into permanent anchors for the communities. These hubs leverage frontier tech—AI for decision-making, cryptography for secure collaboration, decentralized networks for governance, and emerging tools for energy and resilience.We are early in our journey, and we’d love to have youjoin us.
