Welcome to the Hello Metaverse Research Collective, a shared intellectual space focused on exploring the broader evolution of the internet and its implications on society and culture. Each month, we’ll deep dive into a new topic or subspace within a metaverse-adjacent realm. We’ll share the most thought-provoking ideas we came across in a monthly newsletter in hopes of cultivating a more nuanced understanding of the future of the internet.

In addition to our newsletter, we examine these topics with industry experts and thought leaders on our podcast series, Hello Metaverse. Past guests include Philip Rosedale (Founder, Second Life), Devin Finzer (CEO, OpenSea), and Jon Lai (GP, a16z Gaming Fund). Find us on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you get your podcasts!

What to Expect:

We’re convinced that shaping a bright future for the internet requires thoughtful consideration of the larger context. Technology simply doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We’ll approach the topic areas from several angles and disciplines in pursuit of a clearer understanding of both the broader picture and deeper nuances. 

Our goals: 

  • Independent thought over regurgitation.

  • High-quality content from diverse thinkers and perspectives.

  • Conversationality between pieces.

  • Retention over mass consumption.

  • Multi-disciplinary approach to intersectional topics.

  • Time-efficient learning.
