The Civilization Atlas

🇺🇸 THE U.S. FRONTIER TECH MAP AI. Space. Robotics. Energy. Biotech. Quantum. Industrials. Defense. 1,200 companies. 23 ecosystems. 8 frontier technologies.

The SpaceX IPO is big news. Here is one thing you won’t find anywhere else… A live map of all the places in America they build rockets and launch satellites!

🌁 San Francisco: with 176 frontier tech companies on the map, California's port city on the bay – founded during the 1849 Gold Rush – has now become America's innovation hub and the center of a new gold rush to build out AI capabilities and software (114), as well as robotics (39), space tech (44), energy tech (32), defense tech (15), and biotech (12). It is nestled between two world-class universities: Stanford and Berkeley, and is home to several industry leaders including OpenAI, Anthropic, Anduril, Stripe, Airbnb, Uber, Salesforce, Databricks, Cloudflare, Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Dropbox, and Notion. What is amazing is how much of San Francisco's story is layered on top of itself: the same city that gave us Levi Strauss's denim for Gold Rush miners in 1853, now gives us the denim worn by AI researchers in coffee shops. The 1906 earthquake rebuilt SF as a city of resilience – the phoenix rising from the ashes. The 1960s counterculture movement seeded the idea of "personal computers as liberation" that Steve Jobs would later carry on into Apple. Today, the same neighborhoods that hosted the Summer of Love in 1967, now host self-driving Waymos navigating their streets. San Francisco does not just build the future. It also rebuilds itself around it, again and again, shaping the entire world's trajectory along the way.

My favorite feature is that you can discover new technology ecosystems, like Silicon Slopes in Utah which I had not really come across before!

@CivAtlas @rmcentush @CJHandmer @pronounced_kyle @seraphim_space @esa @SatAppsCatapult This is the first project of @CivAtlas – my broader mission to map human civilization and invest in the frontier technologies that make the world a more beautiful place. As envisioned in @jasoncrawford's Techno-Humanist Manifesto: technological progress enables human progress.

@CivAtlas @rmcentush @CJHandmer @pronounced_kyle @seraphim_space @esa @SatAppsCatapult What is on the U.S. Frontier Tech Map? AI, space, robotics, energy, biotech, quantum, industrials, defense. Stock market feed, funding tracker, events calendar, college rankings by founders. Filter anything, zoom into anything, search anything.
