Our Mission
We’re here to grow resilient ecosystems from the ground up – rooted in community, care, and community-owned infrastructure. We connect neighbors and neighborhoods to thrive together.
OUR VISION: A NEW FORM OF GENERATIONAL WEALTH. BUILT FOR US BY US.
Beginning in Oakland and reaching far beyond, we envision communities everywhere cultivating generational wealth through vibrant local economies, shared resilience, and deep connection, like the roots of a thriving forest.
We are growing what we call inter-structure: physical infrastructure designed to strengthen interdependence among neighbors. It is a modular collection of community assets (e.g. thermal microgrids, energy resources, food systems, fiber internet, EV services, and more) that neighborhoods can adapt, expand, and govern together. In this model, the people who rely on these assets are also the ones shaping and managing them, creating resilient, self-sustaining communities where interdependence is not just encouraged, but lived.
Our vision is a resilient neighborhood where communities are no longer at the mercy of distant institutions. Instead, they build and benefit from their own neighborhood-based inter-structure, meeting daily needs, generating local wealth, and preparing for the challenges ahead. Through shared resources and rooted relationships, inter-structure gives people the tools to take back control of the things they depend on: energy, food, information, and livelihoods.
