Breaking Good: Permissionless Building | PubKey DC
An evening with Marty Bent & Gideon Powell
What happens when innovators stop asking, "Can we?" and start asking, "How do we build it responsibly?"
Join the Institute for Humane Studies and PubKey at PubKey DC for the next installment of Breaking Good, a gathering for founders, investors, technologists, entrepreneurs, and scholars who believe that progress comes from experimentation, entrepreneurship, and the freedom to build.
The evening will feature a conversation between Marty Bent and Gideon Powell exploring how permissionless innovation, property rights, entrepreneurship, and local problem-solving can unlock a more abundant future. From energy and AI to Bitcoin and infrastructure, they'll discuss what it takes to challenge outdated systems, navigate complexity, and build solutions that earn and keep public trust.
Afterward, stick around to continue the conversation over drinks with fellow builders and thinkers who are working to turn bold ideas into reality.
