There is another path. We’ve started new companies and currencies. Why can’t we start new communities, cities, and even countries?
After all, that’s part of why Elon wants Mars, and why Thiel backed seasteading. Maybe we can get there via the Internet.

San Francisco is the only tech hub with growing startup formation. Politicians want to kill it🚨
Garry Tan on the data:
SF has +24% company formation growth. Every other city is declining.
But city hall is doing everything it can to drive companies out:
▪️ 800% gross receipts tax hike proposed
▪️ Lab bans threatening biotech and AI startups
This is the only VC hub in America still growing, and local politicians are trying to destroy what makes it special.
The irony: SF's comeback is real, and the biggest threat isn't competition from other cities. It's self-inflicted.
Do you think SF stays the AI capital or does policy push startups elsewhere?
Eye-opening data from former OIST University Dean of Research Nick Luscombe's presentation at Asia Society Japan's event in Tokyo today on Japan's Research Renaissance: Strategies for Global Impact.
Time for a new way for Japan to fund its research?
@MeritoNetwork is ready to lead a funding renaissance.
@MeritoNetwork is thrilled to present on the huge opportunity presented by DeSci to a crowd of technologists and investors at the Network School in Malaysia tomorrow.

Why @MeritoNetwork is building foundations for onchain actual formation.
Japan unveiled its innovation platform NINEJP with the aim of creating globally competitive businesses throughout Japan from academic-origin research. A NINEJP rep told the BIO Japan conference in Yokohama about its goals:
1) Better entrepreneurial talent with strong communications skills
2) Boosted ability to gather info. on major global trends
3) Stronger collaboration with overseas innovation ecosystems
4) Enhanced Japanese overseas presence and recognition of its IP.
The leader stressed that "science and tech strengths don't guarantee commercial success. We could use more enthusiasm, creativity, and overseas researchers and entrepreneurs."
All things that @MeritoNetwork can support with as we bridge Japanese innovators to global opportunities. Onward.
