Upcoming Event
The Realm October Experience
An invitation-only gathering for founders, operators, and capital allocators who are building at the frontier.
The Realm is where visionaries come to sharpen their edge — two days of world-class facilitation, curated curriculum, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the right people are in the same room.
Day 1 — Staying Human in the Quantum Realm
Facilitated by Eric Weiss of Chaos to Clarity. Where SF Tech Week meets Burning Man. Quantum is here now the same way AI was here five years ago — we'll explore the dawn of this new era, blending theory with practical application, and where each of us fits in.
Day 2 — Blockchain: Infrastructure for the Real World
From immutable medical records to the tokenization of real-world assets. We'll connect the dots between AI and blockchain — energy, labor, and the optimizations that create a healthier, more prosperous society — and go deep on AI and blockchain wealth-building outcomes accessible to everyone.
Both days include curated networking and social activities designed to spark the connections that outlast the event.

About
What Is The Realm?
The Realm is Saastermind's most exclusive cohort — a curated inner circle of exit-experienced founders and funders going deep on the technologies reshaping every business on earth.
Top experts in AI and blockchain, sourced from around the world, present at our in-person intensive workshops. Every session is designed to be immediately actionable — not talking heads, but practitioners who have deployed these technologies at scale.
Starting from novice level in AI or blockchain? No problem. Our network will challenge you to become an expert faster than you can imagine.
Curriculum
Three Technologies. Two Tracks. One Unfair Advantage.
The curriculum runs on two parallel tracks that come together at every in-person event.
Track A — Practical Applications
- AI agents as your yearly 12x accelerator
- Tokenization & RWAs — Reg D, Polymesh, TNT
- Crypto treasury & DeFi as a global wealth builder
- AI-native company architecture & org design
Track B — Theoretical & Philosophical
- Is LLM really AI? Technical reality vs. true reasoning
- The intelligence transition — what machine reasoning means for us
- Quantum AI — the next paradigm
- Automation, Cryptonomics, and your leadership role in the coming societal reset
Format
How It Works
- 4 quarterly Zoom sessions per year
- 3 two-day in-person intensive workshops per year
- Two parallel tracks — Practical & Philosophical — that converge at every intensive
- Pre-cohort async onboarding to get you up to speed before you arrive
- World-class global guest presenters at every intensive
- Live blockchain exchange demonstrations
- Peer hot seats, founder dinners, and open ideation sessions
Virtual and in-person sessions are all-inclusive with paid membership, except airfare when travel is required.

Real-World Proof
Real Businesses, Built With What Members Learn Here
These aren't hypotheticals. Here's blockchain technology already working in the real world for people connected to this community.
Binaxity
Jamie Cunningham, Founder & CEO
Already in-market with roughly $500,000 in loans originated — with zero advertising or PR spend. Binaxity gives everyday investors institutional-grade tools: recurring micro-investments, dollar-cost averaging, compounding, and leveraged asset accumulation. It operates in more than 100 countries. Think of it as "what Amazon does for commerce, Binaxity does for fintech."
Tribal Nations Token (TNT/TNR)
Sovereign Digital Infrastructure
Built for Native American tribes — using blockchain as a tool for economic independence, not speculation. Backed by real tribal real estate, resort, and casino assets, and being used for debt refinancing, affordable housing, agriculture, data centers, and commodities. About a dozen tribes are already deployment-ready across multiple states.
Leading enterprises are already reporting 40%+ returns from using smart contracts to cut settlement times and eliminate manual paperwork. The best implementations are invisible to the end user — infrastructure, not novelty.
