A PLACE INSPIRED BY OUR CITY

We are families, professionals, students... the street is where we meet. It is cluttered with foot traffic, weaving bicycles, buses and BART, corner shops and trendy food carts, fancy hotels and SROs. We walk to and from. Music beats, vendors push, art provokes... we find those we know and seek others who stretch our thinking. We observe, participate, experiment, share, compete... it is dense with activity and diversity — day and night. It makes us feel alive...

This is what we see in our city. This is what is catalyzing our vision for 5M — an open place where people who think differently can access each other’s resources, programs, connections, and ideas. A place where the interaction of artists, makers, students, changemakers, entrepreneurs, local food, and technology catalyzes innovation for our economy and our communities. Your participation makes it happen.
