Start Here
Welcome to the Inquiry Institute. Here's what you need to know.
What We Are
The Inquiry Institute is a new kind of intellectual institution being built through patronage and shared inquiry. We're reimagining education and learning for the age of AI, creating a space for serious inquiry outside traditional institutions.
We're not a university, we're not accredited, and we're not selling degrees. We're building something different: a sustainable model for intellectual work that values inquiry, transparency, and cultural contribution.
What We're Building
Phase 1: Platform & Faculty (In Progress)
Digital infrastructure, faculty agents, and foundational systems.
Phase 2: Courses & Salons (Coming Soon)
Structured courses, Villa Diodati salons, and Faculty Club spaces.
Phase 3: DAO, Publications, Labs (Future)
Governance, expanded publications, and research labs.
