Founding Cohort & Residents
The plan: live on the land with engineers, architects, researchers and makers building the first workshops, machines, gardens and festivals of a real city.
A city designed the way good software is. Move there, open a company, back it, or bring the land.

Build Civilization started with a question: what if a city could be designed the way good software is, tested, measured and made better every week?
We are building the pieces first. A learner that keeps learning after it ships. An OS where people find each other and do real things together, from one crew to a whole city. Each has to work on its own, for real people, before it earns a place in something larger.
And we are planning the ground: a city designed to repeat, where residents move to build a fuller life, founders relocate or open companies in dedicated zones, and operators and landowners help launch new sites, from forested mountain plateaus to desert oases.

The plan: live on the land with engineers, architects, researchers and makers building the first workshops, machines, gardens and festivals of a real city.
Bring your company or launch a core industry: robotics, glass, fabrication, food systems, diagnostics. The plan: a stake in your own zone and the city as an early customer.
Back the city engine, contribute or refer land and resources, and see how the blueprint could scale from a first mountain site to, one day, Platonic Atlantis in the Sahara.
