Why run this in a pop-up city?

<aside> 🔮 Pop-up cities are much like college campuses, or as my friends call them — “adult summer camps”.

What traits does the Edge City population have that others do not?

Curiosity, high agency and openness to exploration, both in personal and professional terms
Healthy default, within and outside the pop-up city environment, including a desire to contribute to the future of longevity interventions and products with feedback, personal experimentation, etc.

While the pop-up city concept emerged in 2023, there has been small incremental progress in answering biotech-related questions.

Mainly, what kinds of experiments are these environments uniquely suitable for, in the biotech and health space?

We focus on the following questions:

How can we push the healthy default toward careful, useful experimentation and N-of-1 trials?
How can we help companies test and improve their products with trusted feedback from our communities?
What kinds of projects can we help builders incubate and quickly iterate?

Our Residency aims to be the first of its kind, to support answers to these questions.
