Metropolix roadmap: what is live and what is next

Phases are directions, not promises. Live now is live; everything else can change.

Live now

• The map: streets, avenues, blocks, parks, a river, traffic and people, running on phones and laptops.
• Accounts: invite code, confirmed email, sign in, password reset and an Account panel.
• Three plans: Startup, Rising and Head Quarters, with monthly and annual billing by card, and Landmark by request.
• Your space: choose an open spot, design your building, and take your address at checkout.
• Your building and profile: name, logo, colours, tagline, about, products, services, updates and offers.
• A public page for every startup, plus a Startups directory.
• Likes, member reviews, a ranking, and Trustpilot and Google links.
• A Startup Fortune feature included with annual plans.
• Updates (this blog), a contact form, and the legal pages.

Phase 1: the Founders Area (now)

The first 99 startups, by invitation, one startup and one address each, with Startup Fortune holding a space of its own.

• Checkout open to invited founders.
• Startup verification beyond the confirmed email.
• A building drafted by Metropolix's AI from a few words about your startup, inside your plan's limits.
• A badge you can put on your own website.
• Curated invitations from Startup Fortune.

Phase 2: open to every founder

• Metropolix opens to every founder, not only by invitation.
• Floors inside buildings with real content: team, products, jobs, events and offers.
• Neighbours and introductions on your street.
• Street events and a daily feed.
• A leaderboard based on activity, not price.
• More life on the streets: more people, vehicles and animation.

Phase 3: the economy

• A marketplace to rent or sell a space.
• Commerce: startups sell products and services inside their building.
• Visitor accounts that can comment, use services and claim offers.
• Advertising on landmarks.

Phase 4: expansion

• New streets and districts opening outward from the centre.
• The founding startups work closely with the Startup Fortune team on building and expanding Metropolix.
• More civic buildings and common places: an exchange, a conference centre, a station.
