Holaaa! It's been a few days… Not an excuse but the Summer Program is no joke 👀
But fear not ⚔️ We're back! With a particularly SPECIAL edition newsletter (Special announcement at the end 🤭🎁).
Let's get into it!

The days before kicking off - Setting things up and getting things ready as much as we could! Special thanks to the amazing early birds and community friends who helped tremendously! (+ An extra special thanks to the wonderful Victoria Massó on this journey moving to Duna)

Welcome Vitaliansss!! Members from before and new friends! The excitement of getting the community together is still priceless and truly heart-filling!
We celebrated with a welcome party at the new Duna Tower Rooftop, followed by an introductory session in the cozy Vitalia Dome the next day.

The Acceleration Sprints with Pedro and Niklas started, and the founders are getting READY to pitch on July 30th at Investor Demo Day. [See a past success case here]

🌟 Community Spotlight – Learnings From Popup Villages by Jonathan Hillis
"There's something magical about getting together with people and building the place you want to live. It is the practice of functional sovereignty—proof of work that your community can create the future it wants."
Told you it was going to be an exciting one, right? 😁
