Angelo is the Founder and Protocol Architect at build_cities. The build_cities mission is to build, accommodate, and invest in a collective of innovators vested in the best interests of their respective localities. They are starting with a decentralized network of coworking spaces organized via DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) frameworks and laying the foundation for a new era of startup cities.

So, what exactly is build_cities doing? They are creating the infrastructure to create, finance, and govern startup cities around the globe starting with fostering Type 1 startup cities with digital-first tools. While some of these efforts will naturally start to overlap with Type 2 & 3 startup cities, the core of their efforts is focused on unlocking innovation in every corner of the globe from the bottom up.
