We think about cities as products.

Inspiration: Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture are building a high-density, car-free "satellite city" for 80,000 people from scratch in a rural location close to Chengdu and plan to replicate model in other parts of China.

More Inspiration: Masdar City, Oslo, Stanford Campus, Cornell Campus

People are open to new options Millienials and retired baby boomers don’t want to live in the suburbs People want to live next to their friends Urban walkable cities are becoming too expensive for people that work in creative and service industries

We believe it is possible to build new

satellite cities (50-100k people).

Satellite City Car-free Co-housing Co-working Close enough to major metros, with people commuting a 1-3 days/week for meetings

San Benito County, CA

24-7 Shuttle, Freedom

Home, Live next to your friends

Work, Create your masterpiece

Outdoor Spa, Relax

Initial Residents 500 people with jobs that don’t require being in the city full-time and service jobs that support the residents of the city. Examples: Musicians, Visual Artists, Chefs, Filmmakers, Graphic Artists, Startup people, Yoga Instructors, Freelancers, Writers, Architects, Meditation teachers, Software engineers, Massage Therapists, Makers, etc.

Plan: Build a Settlement 1/ Build founding team and community of people interested in what we’re doing. 2/ Rent an RV-campground and host week-long retreat (March). 3/ Get 500 people to commit to one month living at an RV-campground (June Campaign). 4/ Master lease (with option to purchase) RV-campground in off-season and host first month in September. 5/ Once campground is fully occupied, execute option to purchase campground and purchase options on surrounding land.

Founding team, key skills needed: 1/ Operations 2/ Community 3/ Marketing 4/ Finance 5/ Product -- 6/ We will recruit a real estate person onto the team once we prove the model.

Business model Manage campground and rent out pieces of land with power/water/sewer hookups. We help residents start new businesses and finance privately owned homes, buildings & infrastructure.

Infrastructure fund Currently paying a 10% annual return for Kudavi Infrastructure with a 3 year lease term. Example: $40,000 Tiny Home Annual Payment: $4,000 Monthly Payment: $334

Appendix: 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!"
