Around the planet, we’re feeling the consequences of outdated institutions and inadequate infrastructures incapable of coping with planetary-scale challenges. At Dark Matter, we believe in taking on these challenges via a new, civic economy.

An economy that’s community-led, and based on many-to-many relationships.

An economy that prioritises mental wellbeing and Nature-based Solutions as platforms for further change.

We’re an ambitious not-for-profit designing and building the underlying infrastructure to support this new civic economy, exploring how ownership, legal systems, governance, accountancy and insurance might begin to change.

We’re establishing toolkits and blueprints, pilots, and case studies, supporting communities and institutions with applications, digital products and civic technologies that challenge established thought and demonstrate that an alternative is possible.

We’re working to initiate a boring revolution that will propel wider societal transition. We began as a five-person experiment in London and we’ve become a global, multi-disciplinary, 60-person team with specialisms ranging across financing and lawmaking to economic art and data science.

We don’t profess to know all the answers, but we’re continuing to ask the questions. We’re looking to work openly and collaboratively, sharing any findings and discoveries, developing a learning community and encouraging likeminded collaborators to pick up the work and apply it within their own contexts and geographies.
