TECHNOLOGY · PEOPLE · POSSIBILITYTECHNOLOGY COMMONS
A commons is created when a small group of technical builders come together to explore bold ideas, stress-test assumptions, and transform concepts into reality. With time, the commons grows into a thriving community, welcoming new members and unlocking increasing opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and shared success.
WHAT IS A COMMONS?
Inspired by the legendary spirit and format of Silicon Valley's South Park Commons, our mission is simple: the best companies start before there is a company at all, from -1 to 0.
We meet once a month, on a day and at a time that work for the group, primarily in person, with select virtual sessions. Bring your rawest idea. We will debate it, test it, and rebuild it. If it sparks, we prototype. If it works, we help it become a company.
We are not an incubator, not a co-working space, not a networking group. We are a commons.
Two rules: Everyone contributes. Everything stays in the commons.
OUR GEOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT
Taiwan Commons has formed and is ready to become operational. All its current members are affiliated with universities in Taiwan, and there is room for another four or five members.
Participation begins with a conversation. The Commons decides on membership.
The San Francisco Bay Area Commons is operational and can accommodate a few additional members.
We welcome conversations with people interested in contributing to its formation.
Chicago is an area of active Commons development, with relationships and a local community still being built.
We welcome researchers, entrepreneurs, and supporting organizations who want to explore the idea.
THE ROLE OF GLOBAL HQ
All commons are independently created and operated. Global HQ hosts this website and facilitates Commons creation. It can share ideas and educational resources when needed and help Commons identify venture-capital sources.
If no Commons exists where you are, contact us to explore its formation. A conversation begins the process; it does not establish a Commons or guarantee investment.
Have ideas or suggestions for establishing or growing a Technology Commons? We welcome your questions, proposals, and opportunities for collaboration.
