Who Supports Us

Since we were founded by designers, much of our community is made up of designers across various disciplines and sectors.

However, our mission is to be inclusive of ALL: Futurists, Researchers, Strategists, Product Managers, Technologists, Engineers, Architects, Artists, Writers, Scientists etc. We support anyone who uses their practice to speculate about preferable futures.

By providing a strong community and a variety of speculative and futures-oriented content, we hope to inspire all of our participants to feel empowered about changing the present and guiding us toward futures we want.
