Run with Gigi. Freedom tech has never been short on ideas — conferences, whitepapers, and manifestos it has in abundance. What it's short on is builders. Sovereign Engineering exists to make more of them: six weeks in Madeira, six rotating captains, demo day every Friday. “No talking without shipping” isn't a house rule, it's the whole thesis — nobody gets argued into a freer future; you ship it in front of them.
That's why the format is what it is. Working software every Friday, in a room full of people doing the same, compounds in a way no conference ever has.
format
- 6-week intensive cohort
- In-person in Madeira
- Focus on shipping real software
- Bitcoin and nostr protocols
- Peer learning with practitioners
Not a bootcamp. A cohort of builders who want to work on hard problems together.
