About
Closer helps people who run shared homes and villages get their own website in minutes. Fill one form — we make the pages, take bookings, sell tickets, and handle members. You're live the same day, no coding needed.
Impact
We are making villaging easy. Shared ownership isn't built into our culture anymore. We must relearn to create healthy commons. Closer bridges this ancient task with modern technology.
Progress
We've been building for 6+ years. We have 6 villages live on the platform - and we just finished our automated procurement app so we can drop onboarding fees and make Closer available to 100s of ecovillages worldwide.
Team
We have a strong engineering team and deep connections to a lot of the pioneering land projects around the world.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
