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 work, code, research, and delivered projects were being dismantled and deleted. This generations of effort to build a better, more sustainable world were being defunded, attacked, and deleted from our our history and culture.
SLLVN aims to empower and support a DIY ethos for citizens who want to make the world better through action, energy, time, money, and effort. There's no one coming, it's up to us. We need to create a community and network providing funding, partnerships, and knowledge sharing in these times, and for a better future.
We also look for opportunities to support moon-shot ideas that often lacked access to resources, connections, or visibility in traditional business and funding structure.
Our vision and goal is to be inspirational, while also deeply rooted in impact, execution, and delivery of that vision with our partners and projects.
