2 committed to the process. 10 places in conversation.

The founding table
Twelve independent voices. No permanent centre.
The founding group exists to build an institution capable of outlasting any one personality—including its founder.
The capital thesis
The current planning model contemplates a CAD $12M founding pool.
The planning model assumes twelve contributions of CAD $1M. Final commitments, timing, rights and structure may change after professional advice and diligence.
Adapt for the model
Create excellent shared work, food, health, learning and gathering infrastructure while preserving private life.
Fund resilience
Build robust power, heat, water, communications, fire, transport and maintenance capacity.
Protect the runway
Maintain working capital and operating reserves instead of consuming the entire pool in acquisition and construction.
Founder fit
This is not passive luxury ownership.
Likely a fit
- You value both individual agency and shared responsibility.
- You can tolerate disagreement without demanding ideological sameness.
- You want to build useful institutions, not only access amenities.
- You bring a capability the group can rely on.
- You accept that governance and exit design must come before property enthusiasm.
Unlikely a fit
- You want permanent leisure funded by other members.
- You expect the founder to make every difficult decision.
- You want guaranteed financial returns, residency or appreciation.
- You seek a politically or spiritually homogeneous enclave.
- You see criticism, departure or outside relationships as disloyalty.
The process
Experience and diligence before commitment.
- 01
Request the brief
Share enough context for a thoughtful first conversation. No financial information is required.
- 02
Mutual diligence
Discuss values, capability, time horizon, governance expectations and possible legal structures.
- 03
Independent advice
Each prospective founder consults their own legal, tax and financial advisers.
- 04
Founding documents
Only final documents define rights, risks, ownership, contribution terms and exit mechanics.
- 05
Commit together
Capital is accepted only when the structure, site diligence and closing conditions are complete.
Four gates
The first site is a consequence of readiness—not the source of it.
These gates are intended to prevent a compelling property from outrunning the institution meant to hold it.
Institution before acquisition
Entities, founder limits, member rights and independent oversight must be credible before property enthusiasm becomes irreversible.
Diligence before commitment
Capital, land use, title, water, waste, access, insurance, wildfire and operating assumptions require independent review.
Reserve before build-out
The project must protect construction contingency and operating runway instead of consuming the entire pool at closing.
Practice before proof
The founding group must test meetings, conflict, shared work and decision rules before presenting the social model as proven.
