Join us this on November 6-7 for our Funding the Commons & Earth Commons Design Jam + In Person Hackathon Event in Bangkok, Thailand!

Are you a builder, researcher, academic, student, funder, philanthropist or public official deeply interested in the future of public goods funding?

  • The Funding the Commons Hackathon and Design Jam Session, hosted in partnership with Earth Commons, unites global builders and open-source contributors to redefine what’s possible in public goods and climate innovation.

    From ideation to prototyping, participants will work alongside leading experts to create solutions with real-world impact.

    This hackathon is unique as it’s intentionally designed to bridge technical and non-technical expertise, for inclusive, creative and unique outcomes. In addition to featuring both an Earth Commons and Funding the Commons track, the hackathon will feature 3 pathways for participants:

    1. Traditional hackathon, for technical builders competing for prizes.

    2. Design jam, uniting technical and non-technical perspectives for collaborative problem solving

    3. Focused workshopping - expert/rigorous collaboration that is not technical at all but still geared toward key thinking in the space among thought leaders is also encouraged although not prioritized due to space constraints. 



    Join us in turning bold ideas into practical applications that have the power to transform the future of our shared resources.
