About Future State

Why Future State?

https://futurestate.wiki is an institute and Venture Builder dedicated to accelerating the transition from traditional nation-states to value-based network states

Network states are the biggest unlock of human potential since the nation state. They will reshape society as profoundly as the internet reshaped communication.

We Have A Dream a world where the passport you hold no longer determines your fate. It no longer decides if you can access quality education, healthcare, and opportunities. And the benefits of first world countries become available regardless of where you were born. This thrilling future is closer than you think.

The world has already changed. The pandemic, war, climate change, and inflation are altering how we optimize our lives. Digital nomads have risen x2.3(1) - restless yet lucrative ($123,578/year or 2x US average)(2) pioneers craving flexibility. Meanwhile, Gen Z feels increasingly disconnected from traditional institutions. 70% of the global workforce will be freelance by 2030(3). More frequently, these individuals are seeking a new world order to thrive in.

Such individuals are forming communities in Bali and building entire cities(4), competing or partnering with incumbent nation-states through free economic zones(5). Meanwhile, nation-states offer suboptimal, one-size-fits-all products at a steep price (~40% income tax).

We are attracting the boldest founders, indie hackers(6) and talent by outlining how network states incentivize entrepreneurship and help top talent realize their potential. Those restless for change will flock to our galvanizing vision of the future. We believe a venture builder model is optimal versus a single startup. Moreover, research shows venture builders generate ~4x higher long-term returns than traditional startups(7). Initially, our podcasts will target digital state creators. As the primary users and buyers of a Society-as-a-Service, founders will be invested in attracting our audience. In the next year, we have clear goals:

• Develop an effective content engine capable of engaging aligned groups.
• Launch a credentials system to accredit skills, achievements, and incentivize participants. This will help new community types know residents' interests extremely accurately.
• Release a participant matchmaking API for intra-community and cross-community collaboration, generating network effects and accelerating innovation.

Future State already has 50 visionaries and 7 active contributors. Our blog reaches hundreds, while leading network state advocate Balaji Srinivasan was Tim Ferriss' most popular guest in 2 years(8). Interest is surging and we aim to connect these builders to construct a new world. This is our journey - from closed systems to open networks. From dividing walls to unrestricted opportunity. Join us in writing the next chapter of human advancement.
