🌎 Today, American Hegemony and Western Values are at risk.
The very system which has supported the most prosperous time in human history is under fire, both from external competitors and internal dissenters. Structural challenges our generation will need to address if we want to fight for the West:
- Great power rivals are increasing their influence across the Global South, Europe and East.
- Concurrently, America is unable to meet the vast requirements of our, and our allies’ governments to maintain our World Order.
- National engagement, patriotism, community participation are at all time lows.
- Without an activated entrepreneurship community, we will be unable to rise to the coming challenge - but, there are no good institutions built to support entrepreneurs looking to fight for our collective Western Values.
🚀 We are building Archimedes Labs, an organization of technologists building companies to Expand the West.
The only way forward is through innovation and company building. Our governments can not stave off the rising Great Power competitors on their own. The last Cold War was won through Capitalism, and if we hope to win the next, capital must start flowing back into building companies that support the continued expansion of the West.
Our military needs to maintain its dominance, our energy sector must continue to out produce our competitors’, and trade routes around the world will flow through our rules. Where is the next Jack Northrup? The next John Rockefeller? Our brightest minds must spend less time thinking about B2B SaaS, and more time defending the global order.
Archimedes exists to create these next great founders. If successful, we will radically increase the number of generational companies founded to pursue this mission.
🎯 Archimedes Labs has a few goals:
- Build a world class research team that can help entrepreneurs identify unearth and execute on markets and opportunities. We need more writing out there on how to build the next great space company rather than how to scale a self-serve SaaS startup.
- Provide technologists with access to a deep network of policymakers, war fighters, capital allocators, and other stakeholders. Technologists and policymakers need to work together.
- Build a Scenius around building companies to Expand the West by bridging technical and operational talent across the Bay Area, DC, and NYC.
🧱 Archimedes Labs will execute on tangible projects that equip technologists to Expand the West:
- Archimedes “PMF to Expand The West” Research Publication: Research & open-sourced writing on how technologists can build for the national interest. The notepad will be a digital space for the Archimedes community to share best-practices on building for National Prosperity and also a space for interviews of key leaders that focus on tactical advice for technologists.
- Archimedes “Tours of Western Expansion” Speaker Series: Speaker & dinner series across SF, NYC, DC bridging AI/tech, government, and academia. Each event will have a theme and follow the structure of a moderated discussion seeking to build trust and relationships.
- Archimedes “Western Allies” Hubs: Community infrastructure across major American cities (SF, NYC, DC) to bring technologists, policy makers, and defense stakeholders together.
