Startup Societies: Part I — The Evolution of the State

​From network states to charter cities, from SEZs to Zuzalu, a new generation of builders are challenging the legacy state.

​Join us for the kickoff of a six-part discussion series exploring the radical reimagining of how we live, govern, and build new societies together.

​Taking place over April, each discussion will have brief opening remarks before we invite the floor to bring their own commentary, ask questions and debate the best path forwards.

​In Part I, we lay the groundwork for future discussions:

• ​What exactly is a "startup society"?

• ​Network states? Charter Cities? SEZs?

• ​What are canonical examples?

• ​Questions 101

​You'll leave with a shared vocabulary, a sense of the key players and models, and the context needed to go deep in future sessions.
