It could actually be a significant problem that Europe doesn't have enough garages. This sounds like a joke, but I'm serious. Garages let you work on stuff that doesn't matter yet, which is how big things often start. The outliers of ideas need the outliers of space.

While most of us live in a city on its 1-to-n growth phase, there are some on the frontier going 0-to-1.
If you're looking for an evergreen place to build hard things, link up with @joshuafarahzad, @MerleNye, & the rest of the 12 startups building at @Proto_Town

For the past two years, some folks in Texas have been creating a new hardware city out in the middle of nowhere.
It's called Proto-Town, and it's both weird and wonderful. There are startups and people living in trailers right next to their machines.
They've never let the media visit. But we managed to get our cameras in there. Come see

New Babylon (1956–1974) by Constant Nieuwenhuys is a speculative urban project envisioning a post-capitalist society structured by automation. Developed alongside Situationist theory, it proposes the abolition of labor in favor of continuous creative production and social play.

It's been a minute.
We've been busy shaping the built environment - and we're ready to do more of it.
If you're working on something worth building, we'd love to hear about it.

INTRODUCING GUNDO GRANTS
Every summer, hundreds of the sharpest students in the country land deep tech internships in Los Angeles. They show up ready to build things that matter. Then they discover LA rent on an intern salary is its own engineering challenge.
We think that's a problem worth fixing.
Gundo Grants are $5,000 housing stipends for 10 of the top deep tech interns spending this summer in LA. El Segundo has quietly become the center of gravity for hard tech in America, and the interns showing up this summer will be the most important people in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, robotics, energy, and beyond in 10 years.
If you're interning at a deep tech company this summer, building something real, and wondering how you'll make the numbers work in LA, then a Gundo Grant is for you!
10 grants. $5K each. Exclusive events. 1 incredible cohort.
Applications are due by May 8th → gundo.house/apply

If you want to succeed with an early-stage startup, your best move might be far away from Silicon Valley, to a small city with an active startup community of its own.

Houston's been making the rounds recently.
As energy comes into focus this decade and beyond, it seems like the "Energy Capital of the World" is well-prepared for the moment.
