the problem
modern life extracts value from communities and funnels it to corporations. housing costs spiral. wages stagnate. technology surveils.
- work to afford rent, not to live
- devices you "own" serve someone else
- communities fracture under economic pressure
the approach
don't fight the system — redirect it. build businesses that generate capital, then invest that capital in community infrastructure.
- profitable first, sustainable always
- community ownership, not investor extraction
- open source everything
the model
impact investing meets intentional community. measurable social good + financial returns. the community is the feature.
- housing cooperative + economic engine
- 10-15 hours/week contribution
- live to live, not to work
