Why Sponsor Inkhaven?
Writing on the internet is a critical part of how our civilization comes to understand the world we find ourselves in. Yet these writers often receive very little support and have a poor working environment! So: we are building the Inkhaven Residency as an institution to strengthen the new generation of great writers on the internet.
With in-person guidance from the likes of Scott Alexander, Scott Aaronson, Gwern, and over 20 other established writers, the ~40 Residents (who have been carefully selected from 150+ applicants) are coming together for a month to focus on the craft of writing, and will publish every single day. (Or they'll be asked to leave the program.)
Inkhaven is also here to help other organizations that are part of the online intellectual ecosystem: We are at the intersection of the people you work with, the people who use your product, and the people who will shape the cognitive landscape of our world. Your contribution supports the part of the internet writing scene with high standards for argument and reason, and gives you exposure to dozens of thoughtful, hardworking writers (and their audiences) who you already know or are going to in the future.
- What: A month-long residency with great writers and residents
- When & where: April 1st-30th 2026, in Berkeley, California
- Why: Connection to dozens of great writers & a way to tie your company's reputation to the online intellectual ecosystem
