All-Win Cities: America's Next Chapter

CONFIDENTIAL: EXCLUSIVELY FOR MATT HOLM​

(This first version of the document has been tailored for Matt Holm's review. Modified versions will be created for other stakeholders.)

Date: May 20, 2025
Author: Gary Sheng
Status: Conceptual - Fast-Moving
Target Launch: July 4, 2026 (America's Fair Opening) | July 4, 2027 (Permanent City Development)

Executive Summary​

The All-Win Cities concept represents a fundamentally new approach to city building—one that breaks from previous charter city models to create an unprecedented capital allocation opportunity tied to America's future. While other charter city initiatives have focused on regulatory innovation, this model builds upon that foundation and adds a critical missing element: direct citizen ownership.

This document outlines the first All-Win City, a completely new development strategically positioned between Austin and Tesla's Gigafactory. This isn't just another real estate project—it's a once-in-history opportunity to become a founding father of America's next 250 years by creating its model city for the future.

The timing couldn't be more perfect: America's 250th Anniversary in 2026 creates a patriotic focal point and capital aggregation opportunity that will never be replicated. American billionaires and sovereign wealth funds have a short window to be part of the most significant national project since the founding itself.

The development will occur in two distinct phases:

  1. PHASE 1: BUILD THE AMERICA'S FAIR (2025-2026): Construct the temporary structures, pavilions, and infrastructure needed for the year-long celebration of American innovation starting July 4, 2026
  2. PHASE 2: BUILD THE PERMANENT CITY (2027 onward): After the Fair concludes, transform the site into a full-scale, next-generation urban environment

The Unique Opportunity Window​

The urgency of this proposal cannot be overstated:

  1. 250th Anniversary Capital Alignment: Patriotic capital is primed to flow toward significant national projects as 2026 approaches. This window closes once the anniversary passes.

  2. Administration Support: The current administration's "Freedom Cities" initiative provides unprecedented federal backing for bold new city development—a rare policy alignment that may not recur.

  3. Land Acquisition Timing: The ideal land parcels near Austin and the Gigafactory are available now but rapidly appreciating as the region develops.

  4. Unprecedented Coordination Opportunity: The coming year represents our only chance to bring together world-class partners, government backing, and capital before competitive projects emerge.

  5. First-Mover Advantage: The first successful implementation of this model will set the standard and capture the majority of talent, attention, and follow-on investment.

This represents the single greatest opportunity to aggregate capital from American billionaires in our lifetime—a patriotic investment that delivers both extraordinary returns and historical legacy.

The Vision: A New Kind of City​

The All-Win Cities concept delivers urban environments that transcend existing charter city thinking:

  1. Equity is widely distributed - A significant portion of city equity is allocated to citizens of participating nations, creating an entirely new relationship between citizens and their city
  2. Governance is nimble - Cities operate with startup-like agility rather than bureaucratic constraints
  3. Innovation is constant - Each city serves as a testing ground for next-generation urban technologies
  4. Network effects compound - A global network of sister cities creates exponential value for stakeholders
  5. All participants benefit - From founders to everyday citizens, the incentive structure ensures mutual success

This model solves the fundamental problem of wealth concentration by distributing micro-shares of equity while maintaining powerful incentives for innovation and rapid development. It addresses both economic growth and social cohesion in one unified framework.

The Founding Father Opportunity​

Becoming a founding investor in the first All-Win City means more than financial returns:

  1. Historical Legacy - Your name will be permanently associated with reimagining the American city for its next 250 years
  2. Governance Influence - Early investors help shape the fundamental operating principles of this new urban model
  3. Network Hub Creation - The first city becomes the central node in a global network of future developments
  4. Multi-Generational Impact - This isn't a 5-10 year investment horizon but a century-scale transformation
  5. Category Definition - The opportunity to define an entirely new asset class in urban development

We will never again see such perfect alignment between presidential vision, national milestone, capital availability, technological readiness, and land opportunity. The founding investors will be remembered as visionaries who launched America's next chapter.

Strategic Framework​

Equity Distribution Model​

The model allocates equity in each All-Win City between:

  • Participating citizen stakeholders:
    • Citizens of the host nation (e.g., United States for the first city)
    • Citizens of strategic partner nations (e.g., United Arab Emirates)
  • Founding development corporation and investors

This creates a direct alignment of interests where nations, citizens, and developers all want the city to succeed. As President Trump's promise of "Freedom Cities" comes to life, every American citizen will own a piece of this historic development.

Technology-Enabled Distribution​

The equity distribution will be enabled by:

  • Advanced digital wallet systems with biometric recovery mechanisms
  • Blockchain and crypto infrastructure for fractionalized ownership
  • AI systems to manage distributed governance and value exchange
  • Authenticated digital citizenship verification systems

Governance Model​

All-Win Cities operate as for-profit corporations with a governance structure designed for rapid adaptation and innovation. While traditional cities are constrained by slow-moving bureaucracies, these cities function like startups, able to:

  • Pivot quickly in response to changing needs
  • Implement new technologies without regulatory delay
  • Create custom regulatory environments for emerging industries
  • Balance prosperity with quality of life considerations

The model employs what can be described as "benevolent dictatorship" governance—strong, visionary leadership coupled with significant stakeholder alignment through equity distribution.

The First All-Win City​

The inaugural All-Win City will be established strategically between Austin and Tesla's Gigafactory in Texas. We will proceed in two clearly defined phases:

PHASE 1: BUILD THE AMERICA'S FAIR (Complete by July 4, 2026)​

  • Focus exclusively on constructing the temporary structures and infrastructure for the Fair
  • Build international pavilions for strategic partner nations
  • Create showcase venues for next-generation technologies and urban planning concepts
  • Implement digital credentialing systems for visitors
  • Prepare for global media coverage centered on America's 250th Anniversary celebration
  • Note: The primary construction focus from now until July 2026 is building the FAIR, not the permanent city

PHASE 2: BUILD THE PERMANENT CITY (Starting July 4, 2027)​

  • Only after the America's Fair concludes, begin transformation of fair grounds into permanent city infrastructure
  • Construct strategic industry clusters drawing on Austin and Tesla proximity
  • Develop advanced transportation and energy systems
  • Build premium residential, commercial, and entertainment districts
  • Create international quarters reflecting global partner nations
  • Note: No permanent city construction begins until after the America's Fair concludes

Strategic Location Benefits​

  • Proximity to existing innovation ecosystem in Austin
  • Adjacency to Tesla's manufacturing capabilities
  • Central US location for distribution and access
  • Developer-friendly Texas regulatory environment
  • Available land with potential for massive appreciation

The Global Network: SoHo City vs. SoHo House​

The vision extends beyond a single city to create a global network of interconnected All-Win Cities. Similar to how SoHo House creates exclusive benefits across its locations, the All-Win Cities network will deliver:

  • Reciprocal citizenship benefits across all cities in the network
  • Shared infrastructure and technology systems
  • Fluid mobility between network cities
  • Coordinated macroeconomic advantages
  • Compounded wealth creation for all stakeholders

This "SoHo City" concept, operating at a million times the scale of exclusive clubs, establishes the framework for the most advanced, wealthiest, highest-density cities in the world, operating as a coordinated network.

Path to Trillionaire Status​

Becoming a serial All-Win City creator represents the fastest path for billionaires to become trillionaires in the 21st century. The wealth generation stems from:

  1. Land value appreciation from undeveloped to prime urban real estate
  2. Perpetual economic activity within the city ecosystem
  3. Ownership of core infrastructure and services
  4. Network effects between cities in the system
  5. Global brand value of the overall concept

By owning significant equity in not just one city but a global network of highly profitable urban developments, early investors secure unprecedented returns.

The Capital Aggregation Moment​

This project represents a unique moment in history to aggregate unprecedented capital from American billionaires:

  1. Patriotic Investment Appeal: The 250th anniversary creates a once-in-history patriotic motivation for ultra-high-net-worth Americans to contribute to a defining national project.

  2. Legacy Creation: Beyond returns, this opportunity allows today's wealth creators to secure a permanent place in American history alongside the original founding fathers.

  3. Coordinated Action: The anniversary provides a powerful coordination mechanism to bring together capital that would otherwise remain fragmented.

  4. Presidential Alignment: The current administration's focus on Freedom Cities creates a permissioning environment that removes typical barriers to large-scale development.

  5. Timing Advantage: The 2026 milestone creates a clear deadline that overcomes the normal inertia in large capital allocation decisions.

We will never again see this perfect alignment of incentives, opportunity, and timing to aggregate massive capital for city creation.

Implementation Timeline​

The compressed timeline for the first All-Win City:

  • May-July 2025: Secure initial partners and investors
  • July 4, 2025: Formal announcement of founding partners
  • July-December 2025: Land acquisition and initial planning
  • January-June 2026: PHASE 1: RAPID CONSTRUCTION OF AMERICA'S FAIR INFRASTRUCTURE ONLY
  • July 4, 2026: Grand opening of America's Fair (250th Anniversary) - PRIMARY TARGET LAUNCH
  • July 2026-June 2027: Year-long fair and soft launch of city functions
  • July 4, 2027: PHASE 2: BEGIN CONSTRUCTION OF PERMANENT CITY

Key Partners​

Note: This document focuses only on the critical initial partners needed for the earliest stages and is not an attempt to exhaustively list the extensive network of valuable connections that will contribute to this project. Many significant individuals (such as Dr. Lael Alexander and numerous others) will play important roles but are not listed here for the sake of brevity and focus.

  2. Present concept to Paula White to leverage her 24-year relationship with Trump and her extensive network of wealthy Christian billionaires and faith leaders

  3. Secure letters of intent from cross-tribal coalition of billionaires:

    • Christian denomination leaders and faith-based wealthy individuals
    • Technology industry pioneers and innovators
    • Energy sector wealth holders
    • Real estate development visionaries
    • Finance and investment leaders
    • International sovereign wealth representatives

  4. Prepare formal presentation for Trump family/administration members

  5. Develop detailed financial models for initial investor discussions

  6. Create preliminary city design concepts with "America's Fair" integration

  7. Identify key technology partners for digital equity distribution platform

Cross-Tribal Coalition Strategy​

The All-Win City presents a unique opportunity to transcend traditional political, ideological, and industry divisions by creating a unified vision that appeals to diverse wealth holders:

  1. Faith-Based Appeal: For Christian denomination leaders and wealthy individuals of faith, the city represents a new model of community that embodies shared values of flourishing, stewardship, and legacy. Paula White's involvement as Trump's long-time spiritual advisor and head of the White House Faith Office provides a critical bridge to this influential network of potential supporters and investors.

  2. Tech Visionary Appeal: For technology billionaires, the city offers a regulatory sandbox to implement futuristic ideas that are constrained in existing cities—a blank canvas for innovation.

  3. Freedom Maximalist Appeal: For those passionate about liberty, the city provides an unprecedented opportunity to design governance systems that maximize human freedom and potential.

  4. Legacy Creation Appeal: For all wealthy individuals, regardless of background, the city offers a chance to be remembered as founders of the most experimental, futuristic, and liberating city of all time.

This cross-tribal coalition approach recognizes that while these groups may differ in their specific priorities, they share a common interest in creating environments where human potential can be fully realized. By bringing together billionaires from seemingly divergent backgrounds, we create an unprecedented concentration of capital, influence, and vision capable of executing on this ambitious concept.

The first All-Win City is designed as a big tent—large enough to encompass the aspirations of various tribes while fostering collaboration toward shared goals of prosperity, innovation, and human flourishing.
