synchronous city

  • our platform links business related development projects & small businesses with developers and biz professionals: an open-source back-end development platform for all things business-related innovation.

  • our mobile app — the central neural point of our community - creates a community for lovers of all things business, economics, and development.

  • our board is the source of our creative vision as well as guidance for our technical operations - our egalitarian and democratic structure/orientation intends to collaborate on all things collaboration and community - creating an organization that is always changing, learning, and having fun.

  • our back end functions through our Atlassian suite of collaboration tools, as well as a robust wiki-like conglomeration of coda.io pages. we intend to leave the modality of work to our open-source collaborators, functioning instead as a center to monitor and guide our projects.

  • our vision - create a vision. create a vision than turns vision into manifested character and action through our collaborators, and from there to our community. all this under the guidance of a well-capable board - you can say it’s “respecting our elders” (and we’ve got the best of them). all the while creating a steady-enhancing learning community; and, of course - the meat of our operations - creating beautiful and useful business tools and businesses.

What’s Going On…

COLLABORATION :: our platform brings people together. our board helps develop technical operations as well as provide creative vision. our robust back-end - atlassian products & coda.io - handles all documentation and project management. and, of course, our open-source collaborators get to have all the fun. with all the collaborating we’re doing - and the collaborating on collaboration management - we hope to create a democratic organization always getting better, smarter, and more fun.

COMMUNITY :: things don’t matter without people. our community functions as a link between “smart people” and laymen (if you’re offended by the distinction, don’t worry, I consider myself a laymen). bringing creatives, academics, and biz pros together, we hope our app-users will have lots to read, learn, and engage with. second to that, we hope to be a source of intelligent and engaging reporting from the world of economics - from finance to development to the economics of paper (like the ones in your printer), our “blog system” hopes to engage a segmented audience of lovers of all things biz and econ.

who we’re looking for…

biz pros & developers

& economists & designers & researchers

…and everyone else… (join our community)

this has everything you need to know

think big, work deep…

ready, set… walk

“But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.”
