Geoship designs and manufactures affordable, zero-carbon, climate-resilient homes and creates a platform for homebuyers to connect and collaborate in building regenerative communities. Driven by exponential climate technology, decentralization, and community-centered development, the company is leading a paradigm shift in housing. Inspired by visionary architect Buckminster Fuller, Geoship employs a "physics-first principles” approach to homebuilding, enabled by a breakthrough in ceramic material science. By optimizing geometry, materials, and manufacturing methods, our ceramic composite homes decrease housing costs by over 60%, reduce energy use by over 80%, and cut embodied CO2 by up to 96%. Additional benefits include healthy natural materials, extended lifespan, 99% less construction waste, and resilience against fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and mold. We believe geodesic homes will follow the same path as personal computers and electric vehicles - limited niche products that ultimately gain worldwide adoption. Our impact extends beyond affordable, zero-carbon, climate-resilient housing manufactured at incredibly high speed. Geoship builds villages that embody powerful urban design principles like permaculture and placemaking, facilitating collaborative innovation and supporting mission-aligned communities. This approach creates a multiplier effect toward a regenerative future - where human communities positively impact the natural world. Our north star is derived from Buckminster Fuller: "To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone."

Interstellar Lab is a biotech company founded in 2018 that develops, manufactures, and operates advanced bio-farming platforms to produce the cleanest plant-based ingredients. Our bio-farming technology combines automated farms, AI, and bioscience with a unique data-driven approach. We accelerate plant growth while optimizing plant molecular composition. We provide a sustainable solution for high-quality plant-based ingredients production to large health, beauty, and F&B companies. Our technology has also been awarded twice by NASA and will deployed in space stations and lunar environment. The company counts 45 engineers, scientists, and researchers located between our flagship 65,000 sq. ft. BioPod Facility and Plant Lab in Ivry-sur-Seine (France), a Space Lab at NASA KSC Florida (USA), and a Business Hub in San Francisco (USA). You can reach out at contact@interstellarlab.earth
