FRAGILE SEAMS
STRATEGY

THREAT ASSESSMENT

We target $4 trillion of vulnerable US GDP across six critical sectors where automation and globalization threaten middle-class livelihoods.

Our unifying logic: fragile seams of society. We look where fragility is highest because that's where we have the greatest moral duty.

SEVEN-PILLAR
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
FRAMEWORK

Every venture is evaluated against seven community-benefit pillars to ensure technologies strengthen rather than displace local economic engines.

Community Pain

Does this address a threat to local economic engines?

Local Control

Can the community own and control this technology?

Job Creation

Does this create meaningful work, not just efficiency?

Value Retention

Do profits and benefits stay in the community?

Network Effects

Do network effects benefit participants, not platforms?

Community Champions

Are local leaders driving adoption organically?

Long-term Sustainability

Can this thrive without external dependence?
