The Pop-up Village Model

Each village brings together a few hundred residents to live, learn, and build side by side. Shared meals, daily workouts, and open-ended schedules create the perfect environment for collaboration and experimentation.



The temporary nature of these events creates freedom to experiment outside of the box, mixed with a shared sense of urgency and ambition to build and ship before the end of the month. It's innovation at its most creative, health at its most natural, and community at its most fun.

Grants

Edge City helps builders and researchers turn bold ideas into reality through grants, fellowships, and supportive communities. We focus on projects that push boundaries and work to accelerate human flourishing. Read more about how we support builders here!
Inflection Grants provide $2,000 for creative young builders (under 25) to turn unusual ideas into reality. We focus on turning points where a small push can make a big difference. Meet our first cohort here!
The SHIFT Grants Program funds d/acc projects in biosecurity, cyber defense, information resilience, physical resilience, neurotech, and social technology. Meet the first cohort here!
The Fellowship is a month long in-person program that empowers young builders (under 25) dedicated to accelerating human flourishing across frontier tech, science, and society, and features a full-ride to one of our popup villages. Meet the Edge Esmeralda cohort here!
Edge City residencies support early-stage builders, researchers, artists, and organizers exploring frontier ideas in community. Each residency provides space, structure, and collaborators to push a project forward, and share it with the village.

Past residencies include the Long Journey Residency and World Builder Residency at Edge Esmeralda.

Interested in hosting or joining a residency at Edge City Patagonia (Oct–Nov 2025)? Get in touch!
