About Us
Neighbourhoods is for and by real, actual human beings.
We are developers, artists, entrepreneurs, writers, and activists who share a community-driven vision for a new, distributed web built on Holochain. We believe dWeb design based on portable reputation can retain the benefits of today's web while avoiding its corporate siloes, non-existent data ethics, and general creepiness.
Sacred Capital is a distributed network that developed the vision and specs for the reputation interchange over many years of tinkering with ideas around a reputation-centered economy for the distributed web. With Sacred Capital's reputation interchange, the micro-networks that we call neighbourhoods can interact with each other and set a pioneering, "web of trust" style standard for p2p verification of (inter)personal data across distributed apps.

Sid Sthalekar - Sid’s experience spans from heading South Asia's largest trading desk to exploring distributed economic paradigms in the Gandhi Ashram in India. He is the founder of Sacred Capital, a Singapore based organisation that has developed reputation infrastructure for Neighbourhoods. He believes distributed technology is enabling new forms of social coordination, that don't rely on consensus.

Michael Hueschen - Michael has a background in programming language theory & functional programming (particularly Haskell). A guiding theme of his current work is exploring how peer-to-peer computer technologies can facilitate more egalitarian organizational structures and societies.
Jethro Cramp - Jethro has been growing ventures for 25 years spanning everything from granite quarrying in the heart of China to secure connected computers in Finland. Open source software is very close to his heart and all his (ad)ventures have relied heavily on it. He has experience in fund-raising and managing startups, and believes leadership is the art of balancing strategy, people, process, and resources.
