A voluntary, planetary-scale institution through which people can unite around shared missions and regain agency over the future they help create.
For generations, breakthroughs were built on shared effort and risk, but returns weren’t shared. Planetaria changes that. This is where global citizens work on planetary missions together directly and without middlemen and gatekeepers. Every citizen co-authors the future.
Planetarians choose to participate because they believe humanity can solve its greatest challenges together. Planetaria gives them the tools to do so.
You choose how you want to present yourself and commit your first capital to the planetary missions you believe in. Your contribution enters a shared pool and begins to work. Your contribution might be small, but pooled together, it represents an enormous economic power channeled into breakthrough innovation. And you are a shareholder with respective rights.
You open the mission screen and find real science: papers, milestones, clinical data, ecological metrics. You read the context, the arguments, the projected impact. The record is yours, permanently. You shape what Planetaria is working on.
Your civic wallet shows not just what you contributed, but your active role in Planetaria. Your badges represent your involvement and everything is backed by permanent records and receipts. Your agency brings breakthrough planetary innovation to life.
Every decision in Planetaria is explainable, traceable, and contestable. Citizens vote directly or delegate to expert councils. No algorithm governs alone. The record is permanent.
Planetaria exists to identify, support, and steward missions that advance both, over generations.
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
Preservation of life on Earth.
Designing effective new institutions built on love and care.
Creating more conscious and prepared societies.

For the first time, humanity has
to build Planetaria.
We believe humanity is ready for its next form of belonging.
A world where our differences remain, while our shared humanity becomes a force we can organize around.
Where every person has greater agency over the future they help create.
Where our greatest minds and technologies serve missions worthy of their power.
Where innovation creates prosperity that can travel further than those who first financed it.
Where capital carries responsibility.
Where stewardship reaches beyond our own lifetimes.
Where the health of people and the health of the planet are understood as one future.
Where humanity learns to coordinate at the scale of its capabilities.
We believe in a civilization built by people who choose to participate.
Planetaria verifies humanity through human connection.
Each person enters through a real-world handshake with another verified Planetarian, creating a chain of trust back to Planetaria’s origin. Your Origin Number reflects how many human connections separate you from that origin, while who met whom remains private.
You join by meeting a verified Planetarian in person.
The number of human connections between you and Planetaria’s origin.
The chain proves you are human without exposing your connections.
Humanity is verified through relationship, without turning identity into surveillance.
A planetary-scale institution built by people choosing to shape their shared future together.
We are inviting thirty-three people to help found, shape and steward one of the first planetary civic institutions in history.
A Founding Steward Invitation · Planetaria
Humanity has learned to communicate across the planet, compute at extraordinary scale, and build technologies once considered impossible.
Our next frontier is coordination: restoring people’s agency to act together on challenges that exceed the reach of individuals, markets or governments alone.
Planetaria is the world’s first Network Planet – a voluntary, planetary-scale people’s institution created by those who choose to take greater responsibility for our shared future.
Planetarians unite around missions that can change the trajectory of human and planetary wellbeing: early disease detection, new cancer treatments, breakthrough health technologies, planetary health and regeneration, and other challenges where collective action can unlock extraordinary progress.
People can belong. People can contribute their expertise. People can participate in governance. People can help steward missions. And they can support the innovations those missions create and participate in their long-term success.
At its heart is a simple idea: We are all Planetarians. A new layer of belonging built around our shared capacity to create, care, collaborate and shape what comes next.
Every enduring institution begins with a small number of people willing to take responsibility early.
We are inviting 33 Founding Stewards to form Planetaria’s first circle: people with the courage, imagination and capacity to help establish its culture, principles, missions and direction, and build an institution designed to serve people they may never meet.
Humanity has become technologically connected.
Planetaria invites us to become civically connected.
One species.
Many cultures.
One shared future.
Our capabilities have become planetary.
Our capacity to act together has not.
Yet people have remarkably little direct agency over the forces shaping our collective future.
Humanity needs new ways to coordinate around what we share.
People need agency in shaping the systems and futures they help sustain.
Global connection needs meaningful forms of shared identity, purpose and collective action.
People collectively enable innovation through taxes, labor, attention and data. Its value can travel more broadly to those who help make it possible.
Humanity needs ways to coordinate expertise, capital and action across borders around shared missions.
Agency begins when people can say:I matter.I can participate.I can help shape what comes next.
The space between institutional eras
the world’s first Network Planet — a voluntary, planetary-scale institution through which people can unite around shared missions and regain agency over the future they help create.
— coordinated across borders.
A Network Planet is a planetary community with a shared identity, shared responsibility, and shared missions.
Its citizens choose to participate because they believe humanity can solve its greatest challenges together.
Planetaria gives them the tools to do so.
Human wellbeing and planetary wellbeing are inseparable.
The most valuable opportunities often emerge where both flourish together.
Planetaria exists to identify, support, and steward missions that advance both, over generations.
Planetaria brings people, expertise, institutions and capital together around missions that improve life on Earth. Humanity Missions may include:
The first missions are already underway.
Planetaria begins with a contributed portfolio of frontier innovations addressing some of humanity’s most consequential challenges across People + Planet.
These are the first examples of what Planetaria can steward. Future missions will extend across People + Planet — from health and education to climate, ecosystems and new forms of social infrastructure.
The initial Genesis Portfolio is being contributed to Planetaria by existing shareholders. Its inclusion does not define or limit the scope of future Planetaria missions.
LiqSci – developing liquid-biopsy diagnostics to enable earlier detection and intervention.
ImmunoX + PHP Biotech – advancing new therapeutic approaches for some of the hardest forms of cancer.
iOZ – developing delivery platforms that could open new possibilities for neurological disease and brain cancer.
Mabloc – building standing antibody infrastructure for faster response to emerging viral threats.
PlanetaryX – creating a new asset class for nature through Biodiversity Resilience Assets (BRAs), turning verified ecosystem services into measurable economic value.
From biodiversity
to measurable value.
Potential pathway to CNA’s national producer network.
Citizens help identify missions, support them, govern them, and – through separate regulated pathways where applicable – may participate in the long-term upside generated by successful mission portfolios.
Planetaria has 5 constitutional layers
A shared civic identity built around participation.
Patient resources directed toward long-term missions.
Scientific, ecological, technological, and societal initiatives creating lasting value.
Citizens, experts, and transparent constitutional processes shaping collective decisions.
A robust legal and constitutional foundation designed to endure.
Every enduring institution begins with a small group of people willing to accept responsibility before certainty exists.
The first thirty-three Founding Stewards form the constitutional nucleus of Planetaria.
Their role is neither symbolic nor ceremonial.
They help establish the institution’s principles, culture, governance, legitimacy, and direction during its founding chapter.
They are remembered not because they arrived first. They are remembered because they built for everyone who came after them.
Their legitimacy comes from stewardship, not precedence.
Each Founding Steward makes five commitments.
Every citizen receives a Planetaria ID. A beautifully designed civic identity designed for participation.
Your Planetaria ID records the beginning of your lifelong relationship with Planetaria.
The Festival is the inaugural gathering of the world’s first Network Planet.
The Festival already brings together internationally recognised musicians including:
alongside leading scientists, investors and entrepreneurs working at the frontier of biotechnology, health innovation and deep technology.
Science meets culture.
Capital meets purpose.
Ideas become collaborations.
Planetarians meet one another in the physical world.
Artists become collaborators in missions, bringing culture, imagination and global communities into planetary action.
Being a Founding Steward means becoming part of the community shaping its future. Each Founding Steward receives:
Founding Steward Access
Because the greatest institutions are built not only through ideas, but through extraordinary people spending meaningful time together.
Once a year, on the eve of the Sthorm Festival, the 33 Founding Stewards gather for an intimate evening with a small circle of extraordinary people shaping humanity’s future.
Founding Stewards · Scientists · Founders · Philanthropists · Investors · Artists & Musicians
No press. No panels. No presentations.
Unplugged music. Exceptional food. Unhurried conversation. Encounters that would rarely happen anywhere else.
A contemporary version of the great salons: a space where ideas travel across disciplines, unexpected alliances form, and relationships can quietly become institutions, companies, discoveries and missions.
An invitation that cannot be bought.
Participation is reserved for the original 33 Founding Stewards and their invited guests — making the Dinner one of the enduring privileges of having helped bring Planetaria into existence.
Twenty years from now, some of Planetaria’s most important partnerships may trace their beginnings to conversations around this table.
Planetaria is building the infrastructure that allows real people to recognise one another, establish trust, participate in collective decisions and coordinate resources around shared missions.
Collective agency requires trusted participation.
In digital systems, one actor can create countless identities, manufacture consensus or capture processes designed for communities. Planetaria begins with personhood: credible ways to establish that a real human being stands behind participation, while preserving privacy and avoiding unnecessary surveillance.
From there, trust can become richer – through reputation, verified attributes, participation rights and selective disclosure – without requiring people to expose their entire identity or life to the system. Trust should establish enough confidence for cooperation while preserving consent, privacy and the freedom to leave.
That foundation makes meaningful collective governance possible: people can deliberate, vote, allocate resources, hold institutions accountable and shape missions whose consequences affect their lives.
Know that a real person is participating.
Planetaria establishes human presence through relationships between people, creating trusted participation without turning identity into continuous surveillance.
Know enough to cooperate – without knowing everything.
Trust becomes contextual: people can prove what is relevant to a particular interaction while retaining control over what remains private.
Turn trusted participation into shared agency.
People and communities retain substantive authority over priorities, resources and rules, while technology helps them coordinate at greater scale.
The systems we build should make visible
Progress cannot be reduced to a single financial metric. It includes
Shared prosperity becomes an operating principle: each mission should be judged partly by the conditions of life it helps create.
A more intelligent system should expand human choice, strengthen agency and make the benefits of progress travel further.
