Where this is going

The Vision

What if every city had a place that made it legible to itself? Techne is a network of locally owned civic infrastructure nodes — third spaces where people meet, build, learn, coordinate, and generate local economy. Not a franchise. A shared grammar that each community speaks in its own voice.

△ A Vision for Civic Infrastructure The substrate test, the five-layer node anatomy, the three-phase formation pattern, and the network that connects them. Informed by Daniel Schmachtenberger's framework: does this institution regenerate what it arises from, or extract?

The first Techne node is forming now in Boulder, Colorado. The formation ecosystem below documents how.

What This Is

This ecosystem tells the formation story of RegenHub, LCA (DBA Techne) — a Colorado Public Benefit Limited Cooperative Association filed February 6, 2026 in Boulder, Colorado. It collects the legal foundation, governance architecture, financial infrastructure, operational tooling, and living health indicators into a single navigable structure.

Unlike a static document, this ecosystem breathes. The health indicators above reflect the cooperative's actual vital signs — updated as conditions change, not just when reports are due.

Default Alive

A cooperative is default alive when its revenue trajectory exceeds its expense trajectory — when the organism can sustain itself without external life support. This is the central question the ecosystem health indicators track.

The cooperative's current vital signs: ~$5K monthly recurring revenue against a sustainability target of $10–11K/mo for both floors by June 2027. Capital committed provides a 12-month runway. The question is not whether the cooperative can survive — it can. The question is whether it can reach self-sustaining metabolism before the runway ends.

Revenue lines (coworking, AI education, institutional partnerships, event space, venture reciprocity) are the circulatory system. Each reinforces the others. The flywheel — education feeds coworking, coworking feeds community, community feeds events, events feed membership — is the theory. The data will confirm or correct it.
