first hypothesis / a birthright labs innovation + impact residency
first hypothesis is our residency for early-stage thinkers, makers, and researchers testing ideas that advance economic dignity.
The program is designed for bold experimentation — not polish. Fellows spend 6–9 months exploring how infrastructure, technology, art, and policy can serve real communities.
No perfect pitches. Just real experiments that move us closer to justice.
the e D E N economic dignity empowerment networks experiment
the eDEN experiment is a real-world initiative advancing economic dignity and growing local microeconomies.
We build green maker spaces in under-resourced communities—where tools, skills, and ideas fuel enterprise.
Each space is a workshop, a classroom, and a launchpad—designed so people can build what they need, where they are.
It’s a practical model for shared prosperity, rooted in community capacity.
