What is the Plumia Internet Country cohort?

The Plumia mission is funded by and operates within SafetyWing, a Y Combinator company whose goal is to build a country on the internet, starting with a global social safety net of insurance products.
The SafetyWing team believes that internet countries are an idea whose time has come and we're passionate about doing our part to build a global ecosystem that allows innovative statecraft projects to thrive and succeed.
Why are we doing this?
- Trust in institutions and nation-states is rapidly declining
- We believe there isn’t nearly as much experimentation and innovation as there should be
- We want to help unlock talent from across the world to contribute and create impact
- We want to make it easier for people to learn about, connect and contribute to this burgeoning ecosystem
- Ultimately, we want to build a country on the internet that creates an equality of opportunity for everyone
