Company Summary

We build niche communities (subject matter and geo-local). These communities follow a few key principles: built on open source technology; monetized via P2P, commission-based marketing, advertising, digital downloads/apps, and virtual currency; use game play to establish community hierarchy and build user-generated archives of quality content. The end game is to create virtual economies that can displace real world economies.
