Building a Network State in Japan
Japan is ripe for a network state. It needs innovators, fresh ideas, and venture builders.
Yet it's been hard to break in or create new societies in this enigmatic country.
Finally, there could be a way in--as a group of techpreneurs is assembling a physical community in rural Japan. Join us for an event that illuminates the opportunity to build a society in the Japanese Alps that one day could become a network state.
We'll go into how Japan is changing. After decades of the economy being dominated by corporations, start-ups finally are gaining momentum. New visas make it easier to enter and build. Japan is finally affordable.
Japan offers a mix of beauty and discipline found nowhere else.
• Strong sense of consideration for others
• Deep craftsmanship and focus on detail
• Powerful teamwork mindset
• A growing hunger for new ideas
Will also explain why a society in rural Japan is ideal:
• "Monastery" set-up for a tighter-knit society
• Fresh, cooler air and natural surroundings
• Room to build a true community •Space for fitness--still done by only 3% of Japanese • A setting that encourages deep thinking and fresh energy
We'll finish with an AMA on Japan taught by Brandon Possin, founder of the Merito Network, who's lived in Japan for the past 4.5 years.
