Vanguard / Artificer | Enabling lives of abundant play through creative exploratory work.

The Vanguard / Artificer Foundation is a learning organization built around a desire to enable lives of abundant play.

We do this through bootstrapping ventures at the intersection
of civilization, technology, art, and business.

As a learning organization we bring people together in a process
of learning through experimentation.

Collaborating on growing the insights and knowledge needed for us
to steward the co-creation of an eco-system of tools and ventures that can efficiently support intentional tribes in their transition towards prosperous 4th Industrial Paradigm ways of life.

A life where technology serves human beings in their pursuit to grow and learn though the perspective and process of play.

You can envision the V/A Foundation as an agentic swarm intelligence
that develops and matures collaborative approaches to enhanced economic agency, resilience and autonomy through playful creative exploration.

Vision, Mission, Approach

Our purpose is to build bridges toward lives of abundant play.

Helping intentional tribes transition into lives of co-creation, building things worth having for themselves in ways that bolster collective and individual resilience, meaning and agency.

It's important to us, because it's how we want to live our lives.

Intentionally connected and thriving as groups of people bounded by the relationality of our unique abilities, desires and aspirations.

That's why we've created V/A Foundation.

To find people and organizations who share our desire to collaborate towards an embodiment of our purpose and to nurture the manifestation of an agentic alliance capable of embodying the spirit of our ethos.

Our Justification for being

We who willingly take on the roles of Vanguards & Artificers within The V/A Foundation share conviction that these are prerequisites for lasting purpose and mission aligned participatory action.

We hold a shared belief in the potential that stakeholder approaches to developing exponential organizations can outcompete traditional corporations in bringing transformative lifestyle products and services to market at scale, and a commitment to envisioning, embodying and manifesting that potential.
We engage in lean cultural practices to bootstrap projects, initiatives, and start-ups aimed at fostering a prospering culture of meaningful work together with our members, partners, and project stakeholders.
We collaborate to create reputation, recognition, and authority through creator economy practices, leveraging our collectively developed assets, insights and goodwill to achieve individual agency and collective impact.
We strive to establish 4IP stakeholder habitats with the aim of leveraging technology to continuously enhance resilience, agency, autonomy and wellbeing of its inhabitants.
We dedicate ourselves to growing a cultural transformation movement that accelerates adoption of vertically integrated habitat solutions that furthers resilience, ease of life and economic agency for their stakeholders through a development of entrepreneurial ventures.
