Through low cost and high differentiation, Geoship attracts millions of new homebuyers into the market. Surveys show that 30 million US adults planned to buy a home in 2023, but only 23% were successful. The average budget was $275k, well below the average home cost of $428k. By offering healthy, sustainable, resilient homes for under $300k out the gate, and under $200k at scale, Geoship unlocks a staggering $11T market in the US alone.
About us
Geoship designs and manufactures affordable, zero-carbon, climate-resilient homes and creates a platform for homebuyers to connect and collaborate in building regenerative communities. Driven by exponential climate technology, decentralization, and community-centered development, the company is leading a paradigm shift in housing. Inspired by visionary architect Buckminster Fuller, Geoship employs a "physics-first principles” approach to homebuilding, enabled by a breakthrough in ceramic material science. By optimizing geometry, materials, and manufacturing methods, our ceramic composite homes decrease housing costs by over 60%, reduce energy use by over 80%, and cut embodied CO2 by up to 96%. Additional benefits include healthy natural materials, extended lifespan, 99% less construction waste, and resilience against fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and mold. We believe geodesic homes will follow the same path as personal computers and electric vehicles - limited niche products that ultimately gain worldwide adoption. Our impact extends beyond affordable, zero-carbon, climate-resilient housing manufactured at incredibly high speed. Geoship builds villages that embody powerful urban design principles like permaculture and placemaking, facilitating collaborative innovation and supporting mission-aligned communities. This approach creates a multiplier effect toward a regenerative future - where human communities positively impact the natural world. Our north star is derived from Buckminster Fuller: "To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone."

Geoship domes are built to withstand a wide range of climates, including cold, desert, and tropical environments. The geodesic structure is incredibly strong, capable of handling heavy snow loads and seismic activity. The ceramic material resists rot and mold, reflects heat, and the deep insulation cavities provide high R-values. An innovative venting system under development will further enhance passive air conditioning for extreme conditions.

Following our first community round, we entered a rapid prototyping phase, setting up our own lab and gathering used equipment—including a CNC machine—so we could handle everything in-house. This allowed us to rapidly iterate and learn, creating and testing over 5,000 samples and refining our manufacturing processes. We molded hundreds of ceramic parts and built what we believe is the world's first ceramic composite geodesic dome. Our proprietary innovations create a new category of housing with the potential for hundreds of trade secrets and patents.

Just back from Tulum Crypto Fest where we aligned with global thought leaders on decentralized living 🌴 1️⃣ Web3 & Blockchain Applications: Transforming how we build and manage resilient communities. 2️⃣ DePIN: Decentralized infrastructure for energy, housing, and mobility. 3️⃣ ReFi: Funding the future of regeneration through crypto innovation. 4️⃣ DAO Governance Models: Empowering communities to collaborate and thrive. 5️⃣ Regenerative Building Tech: Featuring Geoship’s bioceramic domes as a scalable housing solution. From Morgan Bierschenk Whale Tank pitch to panel with Micha Mikailian and dozens of inspiring meetings, we’re excited to build on this momentum. 💚 Let’s co-create a decentralized and regenerative future together!

Placing a reservation early secures your position in our production queue, giving you priority access to our bioceramic domes as they become available. Early reservations also play a crucial role in validating our product development, helping us tailor our production to meet demand. Plus, your reservation is fully refundable, so there’s no risk involved. While all early reservations are prioritized, your specific place in the queue may vary based on factors such as your location, investment status, and the dome model you select.

Geoship progressively decentralizes into a Multi-Stakeholder Cooperative governed by a Perpetual Purpose Trust—the gold standard for steward ownership in the U.S. After going public, Geoship will gradually transition to a multi-stakeholder cooperative. This structure enables rapid, decentralized growth while ensuring Geoship stays true to its mission, which is inspired by Buckminster Fuller himself. “Our challenge is to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” ~Buckminster Fuller
