For the founders and scientists building the technologies that will define the next century.
We are at the beginning of the largest technological transformation of our lifetimes. Larger than the internet. Larger than mobile. Larger than cloud.
AI makes intelligence free. And while that will mean the epitome of the digital revolution, it will also be felt in the physical world. Every aspect of our lives and world will be upgrading. Self-driving. Self-healing. Self-building. Inter-connected. Inter-planetary. Unlimited energy. Unlimited compute. Science fiction will become reality.
The time for moonshots is now. But they require a different kind of builder. The software startup playbook does not apply. The problems are harder, the budgets bigger, the timelines longer.
The Kardashev Club brings together those founders teleporting us to the future. They're mission-driven and hyper ambitious. Membership requires one thing: work that matters at civilizational scale.
Inspired by the Lunar Society of Birmingham, whose monthly gatherings connected the engineers and scientists who built the Industrial Revolution, we aim to become the prime support network for deeptech founders shaping the future. We start in the Bay Area, and may expand at a later date.
Membership is by invitation only. If you are building at the frontier — in energy, computation, biology, or industrial systems — tell us what you are working on and we will be in touch.
