In 2021, our small group of friends decided to live, learn, and build together in NYC. It started as just a single apartment with weekly dinners where people gave 5-minute talks. And it grew into a neighborhood campus:

Living near each other has helped us coordinate and incubate a bunch of fun projects.

Three we’re especially proud of:

1. Fractal University, where we teach everything from art, to cooking, to coding. Classes are cozy (we teach them from our living rooms), and it’s a lot of fun to learn from and with our friends.
2. Fractal Bootcamp, a three month intensive software engineering bootcamp, and Fractal Tech Hub, our co-working space.
3. merlins place, our first community-run third space (and its 3000-LED lighting installation on the ceiling)

“Is there a vision?” Many of us want to help improve the creative and civic culture in NYC (housing, energy, art, community, flourishing), but some are just here to live a well-rounded life.
