We design and operate research programs and fellowships that create net-new mental models and maximum impact. Since 2018, we’ve pioneered new formats for embedded research in emerging technology spaces. Our research programs typically involve a unique combination of digital ethnography, hands-on work, and first-principles theoretical work. As a result we've been able to consistently historicize, predict, and influence techno-cultural shifts.

With institutional partners we take the same approach of theoretical research and applied projects. Typical partnership outputs include research programs and forums, program/policy designs implementation, open source prototypes and primitives. This model ensures our frameworks are in continuous development, testing, and production.

Here are some organizations we've recently partnered with:

• We partnered with Optimism to review their public goods funding program and design new iterations.
• We partnered with Gitcoin to design and run their first expert-curated grant round.
• We partnered with Station on our research program Web 3 Work to develop models for Web3-native social security.
• We partnered with Braid to prototype fiat-based group money primitives.
• We partnered with Metropolis on Governance Learning Forum.
• We partnered with Uniswap on a deep research and governance design program.

Our work has been supported generously by Uniswap Foundation and the Ethereum Foundation, among other organizations.
