We’re a community of founders, builders, creators, investors, and policy leaders seeking to contribute to the world through our work and art.
Our vision
The Goal
Our vision is to co-create Solana Economic Zones (SEZs) around the world, hand-in-hand with the Solana Foundation, Solana ecosystem and local communities.
The purpose of a Solana Economic Zone is to build bridges between the web3 economy and Nation’s economies, to help both prosper exponentially.
In the long-run, SEZs will be a magnet and home for some of the world’s best talent to do their best work, and live their best lives.
Phase 1 of this vision are the Solana Economic Zone Assemblies.
Solana Economic Zone Assembly
Over the next 12 months, we are starting with 1-month Solana Economic Zone Assemblies in LaTAM, MEA, APAC & Europe [each ~200 pax invite-only].
During and after each SEZ Assembly, we, with our Formans and partners, will continue work in host countries to co-create programs, policies, products, and partnerships to:
Attract top talent to visit and potentially live in the host country
Support Solana startups to find key hires and regional leads
Attract more investors and grant managers to fund local talent
Support Solana founders seeking to set up a business or regional HQ
Support startups who want to launch their products in local/regional market
Connect local community founders and developer schools with funding partners
Why start Forma
Today, millions of people contribute their time and labor natively over the internet and earn in dollars and/or tokens.
Crypto is leveling the playing field for people around the world who can now access a liquid labor market on the internet, with just a WiFi connection - irrespective of their governments regressive policies or capital controls.
This is a generational opportunity for techno-optimistic countries and jurisdictions who are eager to create progressive laws, support value creating communities and build infrastructure to capture FDI directly from the internet.
Through Solana Economic Zones, we want to help countries and Formans prosper by co-creating and leveraging initiatives that develop local talent, and attract/retain high-impact people and businesses.
