Wonderland · the build-from-scratch playbook

Start from scratch. Build an empire.

30 years of building — companies, teams, products, and communities — documented as tutorials, tips, and hard-won lessons. Not theory. The actual path, from nothing to something that lasts.

The journey

Four chapters, one throughline

Wonderland documents a build that began in the mid-’90s — the vision, the products, the community, and the craft that turns ideas into an empire.

Civicognita

The why

It started with two questions: how can we cure crime and poverty? And how can we create a world where everyone can live in an abundance of joy, security, health, and purpose? Civicognita is the vision and the stewardship: the economic and governance groundwork for an impact-based economy.

Renaissance Analytics

Ideas → products

Vision needs things people can actually use. Renaissance Analytics is a Products & Services arm — where ideas become shipped products and services, and the future of work gets built in the open.

Particle Academy

Grow together

"On your own you're a point. Together you're a field." A cohort-based accelerator built on community, mentorship, and hands-on building — because nobody builds an empire alone.

The craft

Make it happen

Building apps and websites since the mid-’90s: shipping products, growing teams, turning chaos into systems that scale — and today, building alongside AI agents. The lessons live here.
