Geoship

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."
