Trace Institute
Founding Circle

Build it with us.

The Trace Institute launches in January 2027. We are now assembling a first circle of individuals, foundations, and institutional partners to fund and shape the Institute before it opens its doors.

Who we are inviting
  • Philanthropic foundations
  • Science and consciousness funders
  • AI and technology entrepreneurs
  • Family offices
  • Research institutions
  • Strategic media and cultural partners
What participation enables
  • Research positions

    Mathematical and physics research, postdoctoral fellowships, and named positions across the program.

  • Publications and open access

    Peer-reviewed papers, preprint hosting, and open-access submission from Institute researchers.

  • Talks and symposia

    Public lectures, technical seminars, and cross-disciplinary symposia that advance the research program and bring leading thinkers into direct dialogue.

  • Original media

    Documentary, lectures, and long-form work that brings the Institute's ideas to a broader audience.

  • Institutional infrastructure

    The operational foundation: people, systems, and organizational capacity that lets the science happen.

Participation is by conversation, alignment, and fit.
