History
It all began in 2002 with the publication of the book
Hub Culture: The Next Wave of Urban Consumers, one of the first explorations of globalized social communities. HubCulture.com was founded at this time to provide a meeting place for the global urban influentials described in the book. Over time, we began to produce functions (such as round table dinners, events and charitable fundraisers), to connect those who wanted to meet like-minded others.
The website became a leading reference point for the uniquely
globalized zeitgeist that defines Hub Culture, with curated content and sharp coverage of the global scene.
In 2005 Hub Culture events grew into Pavilions, longer term temporary projects in key places. The number of activities grew into a series of regular projects and events reaching thousands of members. The first Pavilion appeared in January 2005 on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, with others following in Miami and St. Moritz.
In 2007 Hub Culture expanded its social network to include knowledge brokerage, future trend analysis and connection services for a selection of blue-chip clients. In January 2007 the company released its first Zeitgeist Ranking, calling the scene in the world's leading urban centers. That summer the company released
Ven, a global social currency first available in
Facebook. Today Ven is priced in real time against the markets, with a combination of currencies, commodities and carbon futures making up the value of Ven. Millions of units are in circulation as the world's first knowledge currency, perfect for micropayments, favours and valuing knowledge.
Hub Culture helps members build worth. The website offers an easy suite of tools to enhance collaboration, and content is created with the help of knowledge-rich experts in a variety of fields who publish for themselves and the network.
The arrival of permanent Pavilions in key global cities enhance the mission of Hub Culture to help drive deals and social progress consciousness. The Pavilions represent a breakthrough in sustainability, work efficiency, and community development by providing spaces that combine the virtual and physical in a stunning format.
The Pavilions are designed to merge virtual and physical environments and create new types of interaction opportunities. They vary in size and operations, but all run on a sophisticated virtual platform that includes a booking system, reservations, online store, proximity management, social media integration and more.
Pavilions offer a new way to work for the networked individual and forward thinking companies. They are a carbon winner - shortening commutes while aggregating resources. They build worth by cross-fertilizing ideas, companies and capital. They are a new type of innovation laboratory.
The combined knowledge of the network delivers vibrant opportunity for deals and worth creation. Hub Culture uses Knowledge Brokerage services to tap into this resource for curated deal introductions and connections to help power deals.
Knowledge deals are done at three levels: Exchange, Services, and Brokerage.
At the brokerage level in the physical commodity and global wholesale sectors Hub Culture is using Ven to bring stable global pricing, transparency and carbon-inclusion to market related trades. Using Ven, privately invited participants using the Hub Culture trading platform are able to realize consistent, ongoing deal flow at a faster pace.
