Prospera ZEDE, is a special economic zone that was used by the biotech [Peter Thiel-funded] startup Minicircle to develop reversible follastatin gene therapy and to start treating patients in a few months, instead of a decade (with $100s of thousands instead of billions)
Vitalia was inspired by Vitalik Buterin's "Zuzalu", and is supported by Key Opinion Leaders like Balaji Srinivasan, Naval Ravikant, Aubrey de Grey, Bryan Johnson, Dave McClure, Tyler Cowen and many more.
The first pop-up city is until April 1, but a permanent community of 30-50 Vitalia builders will continue to reside thereafter.
In addition, our alumni network currently boasts 500+ Vitalians (entrepreneurs, scientists, and investors) actively engaged in upcoming projects worldwide. They utilize their personal and professional resources and networks to support one another in building projects aligned with a future where “Death is Optional”
