We are worker owned creative collective, innovating on everything from brands and IRL communities to IoT devices and cross platform apps. We share profit, open source everything, spin out new businesses, and invest in exciting ideas through financial and/or in-kind contributions.

By applying collectivist principles and egalitarian business structures, we build liberating, inclusive and empowering cultural institutions inside of late capitalism. A lot of us work out of Index NYC (and sometimes Post Office in Amsterdam), and you can join those spaces too.

“A vision for the future of capitalism (and the world)

We need to change who owns capital.

Private ownership of capital has created a lot of wealth and prosperity, and for much of the past centuries that has been a good thing, but now we need to create more owners of it. Not just the founders and executives and already rich, but everyone. 

This is no longer Adam Smith’s economy—he could not have foreseen how wealth would consolidate into the hands of a few. Those rich enough from businesses, real estate, and investments were able to buy more businesses, real estate, and investments, until they owned most of the capital.”

We are seeing a growing ecosystem of people and organisations who are recognising the need for a major civilisational transition from Modernity to a new cultural paradigm. They are choosing alternative ways of living and working to support that shift.
