The document proposes building new satellite cities of 50,000 to 100,000 people that are car-free and located near major cities. People, especially millennials and retirees, want affordable urban communities with easy access to nature and friends. The plan is to first test the concept of a satellite city by hosting weekend retreats at a campground, then master leasing the entire campground to house early community members in a 1-year lease. The goal is to build the best team to create sustainable co-living and co-working satellite communities close to urban centers.

2. We think about cities as products.

3. We believe it is possible to build new
satellite cities (50-100k people).

4. Inspiration: Work is about to start on a high-density, car-free "satellite city"
for 80,000 people that will be built from scratch in a rural location close to
Chengdu and later replicated in other parts of China.

7. People are open to new options
Co-working is huge for a reason > cities can be lonely
People want to live next to their friends
Urban walkable cities are becoming too expensive for
people that work in creative industries
Millienials and retired baby boomers don’t want to live
in the suburbs

8. Satellite City
No ownership
No cars
Co-living
Co-working
Close enough to major metros, with people
commuting a maximum of 2 days/week

10. Who will live there initially?
Startup people / Remote workers: 1-12 months
Writers/Painters: 1-12 months
Architects: 1-3 months
Software engineers: 1-6 months
Makers: 1-3 months

11. Who will live there initially?
Musicians: 1-3 months

1/ Build founding team.
2/ Build community beach head in SF/Oakland, and
use an established campground as testing ground.
3/ Start by renting the entire campground and
hosting cash-flow positive weekend retreats there.
4/ Once ready, master lease campground and move
a large group of people to campground (they sign
1yr lease).

18. Founding team
Together, we will have the potential to be the best in
the world at:
1/ Community
2/ Product
3/ Engineering
4/ Operations
5/ Finance
6/ Real Estate
7/ Marketing
8/ People Operations & HR

Alice laughed. “There's no use trying,” she said.
“One can't believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven't had much practice,” said
the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it
for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've
believed as many as six impossible things before
breakfast!"
