AI & transformative technologies
can either enliven or endanger us all.

Positive futures are not a given.

We need to design their emergence.

We incubate People, Products, and Places 

building Flourishing Futures.

Who we are

We are a global community of interdisciplinary innovators. We are both concerned and hopeful about this new wave of technologies' impact on human and planetary well-being.
 

What we do

1. Systems Research

We identify possible systemic change levers via research. For example: holistic product success metrics can re-align systemic incentives toward flourishing. We design experiments to operationalize this research: e.g. wellness certification for consumer tech products. We also aim to liberate ideas from academic research and translate them into real-life impact.
 

2. Innovator Support

We support innovators in finding their most aligned creation by asking Why, What, and How they create, and for Whom. This is done through group and 1-1 education, coaching, and other forms of support. 

 

3. Product Incubation

We incubate exploratory/ experimental projects that are building life-centric products, services, and systems, using emerging technologies (but not required). We also support existing technology products to pivot towards life-centric use cases.

Holistic product success metrics for responsible design & development of consumer technologies. 

Why We Care
 
To center people & planet's well-being, 
we need both product-level and system-level innovations.

Whether we are creating an AI-enabled family historian, an artist collective,
ethical tourism in the Amazon, or a regenerative economy,
the life-centric design principles are the same.

We apply Nature's timeless wisdom such as
open exploration & emergent creation to 
nurture People, Products, and Places 
toward Flourishing Futures.
