I recently visited Próspera, a Honduran startup city. I had a ton of questions and figured others might too, so I wrote an FAQ to share what I learned:
Here is an exported PDF, if you prefer that form factor.
This FAQ is intended as a reference, covering the basic facts and current status of the project. My hope is that this document will help startup city builders learn from the path Próspera is carving. It covers a range of topics:
- infrastructure in Próspera and its neighbors
- Honduras' unique legal autonomy framework
- institutional structure of Próspera
- taxes and tariffs
- Próspera's business model
- political environment in Honduras
- local context, economy, and culture of Roatán, the island where Próspera is located
- e-residency and physical residency
- current population of Próspera and what made them to decide to move there
- ... and more!
