Over the last few hundred years, a small number of technologists making big, bold bets on the future have completely altered the course of human history.

From Thomas Edison to Fairchild Semiconductor, human progress has historically been shaped by very few people.

The Fairchild Semiconductor “Traitorous Eight” went on to found many of Silicon Valley’s most important firms.

The world has changed a lot as a result. To someone born 250 years earlier, it would be unrecognisable. And the pace of change is accelerating rapidly.

This generation's version of the Fairchild “Traitorous Eight” will revolutionise every industry - energy, biotech, space - you name it.

They'll have a much bigger impact than any previous generation of entrepreneurs. This raises some serious questions.

What is progress?

Whose idea of progress are we moving towards? Is it colonising Mars? Is it new models for education? Is it faster grocery delivery? Is it nuclear fusion?

With the internet and the right software, it is now possible to give everyone the opportunity to vote on what their idea of progress looks like.

This is what we are building at Odin. We create the tools for anyone, anywhere, to start a company, raise a fund, or invest in both.

You can also discover, connect and collaborate with other people who are doing similar things.

Our goal is to help more people vote with their money, and their time, on what the future looks like.
