Replicate // Adapt // Speciate
The model that works in San Francisco — house + lab + capital + cohort — replicates wherever biology and ambition concentrate. One organism, many habitats.

Node protocol — five load-bearing requirements
REQ_01
Terrain
The city itself must be the accelerant — a vertical where local infrastructure, regulation, talent, or industry gives founders an edge they cannot get anywhere else.
REQ_02
Lab
A working wet-lab within walking distance. No node opens without benches founders can actually run experiments on.
REQ_03
Capital
A first-check source on the ground — the node is a fundraising organ, not just a dormitory.
REQ_04
House
Real live-in space. Remove rent, remove commute, remove isolation — what’s left is the work.
REQ_05
Cohort
Enough founder density to reach critical mass — a group moving at the same velocity.
