𖤓 You're invited to The First Light Gala 𖤓 On the summer solstice, June 21, 2026, we're publicly launching Apollo Innovation Commons, and we want you in the room. Reserve seats: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/first-light-apollo-innovation-commons-gala Want the full cinematic experience? https://thefirstlightgala.com key: eudaimonia ☉The longest day ☉ For as long as people have watched the sky, the solstice has marked a turning. The stones at Stonehenge were set to catch this exact sunrise. In Sweden, Midsummer is the brightest night of the year, all flowers, fire, and dancing. The Egyptians watched the solstice to herald the rising of the Nile; across the Andes, Inti Raymi still honors the sun. The longest day has always been a day to gather, to give thanks, and to begin something. It felt like the right day to begin ours. ✦ The night itself ✦ Five hours, built for our earliest supporters. A procession on arrival, a projection-mapped grazing table, live performances throughout, and a gifting ritual that's better experienced than explained. Apollo was god of the sun but also of music, poetry, and dance, and we're building the evening in that spirit. ❖ Doors 5:30 PM, seated dinner ☽ 7:30 PM, community tickets ◦ Close 10:30 PM ◦ Attire: all white → inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/apollocommonso/apollo-gala-dress-code ☀︎ What is Apollo Innovation Commons? ☀︎ One building in San Francisco where it all lives under one roof: frontier research labs (AI, biotech, robotics, climate), an immersive arts venue, a community kitchen, and endless room for collaboration across all of it. Underneath the programs, we're running the harder experiment: purpose-trust ownership, commons mechanisms, incremental community equity, and governance worth testing in public. ☀︎ Why we're building it ☀︎ We have historically badly under-invested in permanent civic infrastructure, places where technology, arts, science, and culture converge and operate on decade-long horizons instead of three-year venture cycles. We think commons-based solutions are the answer. Read the whitepaper: https://theapollocommons.com ☀︎The details☀︎ ◦ San Francisco.
