Solarpunk Lighthouse Labs & Venture Network (SLLVN.org) was born from a belief that humanity’s best future is one where technology, nature, and community thrive and work together, and that is a legacy worth supporting and preserving with the limited time and resources we have.
We saw a need -- especially after July 4, 2025 when Public Law 119-21 was signed -- that massive swaths of historical progress, work, code, research, and delivered projects were being dismantled and deleted. These multi-generational efforts to build a better, more sustainable world were being defunded, attacked, and deleted from our our history and culture.
SLLVN.org aims to empower and support a DIY, open source, empowered ethos for citizens who want to make the world better through action, energy, time, money, and effort. There is no one coming; it's up to us.
We need to create a community and network providing funding, partnerships, and knowledge sharing in these challenging times, and for a better future.
Our vision and goal is to be inspirational, while also deeply rooted in practicality, impact, execution, and delivery of this vision with our partners and projects.
While we are focused on practical execution, as we expand and grow, we are also looking for opportunities to support new, moonshot ideas that often lack access to resources, connections, or visibility in traditional business, grant, and funding structures.
Please reach out if we can help. As we have learned: There is no one coming; it's up to us. 💪👥💻
