​Startup Societies Summit

​The Startup Societies and Crypto Cities Summit is one of these events. By being a practical testing bed for new ideas, we empower the philosophy “Don’t argue, build.” We use the word “startup society” because it encapsulates a variety of new community projects innovating in governance and technology such as network states, pop up cities, online communities, and startup cities.

​Startup cities, including special economic zones, test new new policy ideas that help them flourish (like Shenzhen, Dubai SEZs, etc). Likewise, crypto currencies like bitcoin allow users to experiment with new forms of monetary policy, or in the case of Ethereum, to experiment with new ways of social organization.

​Speakers

​Speakers that have already committed include: Vitalik Buterin (Visionary behind Ethereum) Patri Friedman (Founder of the Seasteading Institute and Pronomos Capital) Jorge Colindres (Technical secretary of Prospera)

​Content and Schedule

​Official conference days: Feb 2nd-3rd

​Feb 2nd: The first day will be general information and theory of innovative crypto projects, and the power of special economic zones.

Feb 3rd: The second day will focus on praxis, where individual projects discuss what they have learned on the ground. It will conclude with a workshop where individuals engage in hypothetical scenarios for designing and implementing their own startup city or crypto project.

​The full startup society week lasts Jan 29 to Feb 4. There will be the opportunity for informal events to meet Vitalia residents and other attendees of the summit through dinners, coffees and workshops, scuba diving adventures, and more outside of the conference days Feb 2nd-3rd.
