What is Unfinished

Unfinished works to strengthen our civic life in the digital age. 

With a network of partners in technology, academia, social impact and the arts, Unfinished is imagining the future of technology, culture, and governance to create a thriving multiracial democracy and just economy.

To achieve this, Unfinished is advancing a very concrete solution through Project Liberty, an initiative with the potential to transform how the internet works and who benefits from the digital economy. Project Liberty aims to create a new civic architecture for the next generation of the internet that prioritizes people over platforms, returns the ownership and control of personal data to individuals, reflects a commitment to ethics and shared values, and expands economic opportunities for both users and developers.

Unfinished Labs

We are building a new shared, public infrastructure for the web that generates much greater value for the people who use it. The web we envision incorporates data rights as a default, gives people the full power of their networks and the value they generate, promotes transparency and trust, and opens opportunity to effect positive social change at scale. The time has come to build a better web, one that works for people first.

Unfinished Live

Unfinished Live offers a space and an opportunity to challenge the status quo and explore new possibilities while accelerating social impact. For 2021’s theme, The Future Is Decentralized, influential leaders fostered conversation and deepened understanding of a new digital era that prioritizes people over platforms.

From September 23-24, 2021, Unfinished Live convened online and in-person at The Shed in New York City. During this two-day event, we recognized the launch of Project Liberty by exploring what it means for a society that shares power among its people to have a decentralized web and a decentralized operating system. We imagined what we can achieve when our digital life opens doors to new fields and new actors and gives a voice to diverse communities. We sparked conversations that we hope will lead to a more inclusive, fairer and better world. You can view these mainstage talks and podcast conversations below.
