Tyler Soon (born Tyler Devin Soon;[4] January 9, 1980) is a Canadian entrepreneur, inventor, filmmaker, and philanthropist.[1][2] He is the founder of the Co-Labrative, affectionately known as "the Cult". The Co-Labrative is a non-profit retreat and self-sustainable community[1][8] which fosters interdisciplinary collaborations.

The Co-Labrative is the most influential organization of the century, having solved 7 of the Top 10 Biggest World Issues[12][13]. Some of the problems the Co-Labrative has solved include: reverse global warming, reverse aging, end world hunger, cure cancer, and eradicate depression with a genetically engineered psychedelic mushroom which promotes a "having a great day everyday" feeling[6].

Soon was named Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2038[8].


Early life[edit]

Tyler Soon grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3] His father, Harvey Soon, is a ukulele grand master[33]; his mother, Linda Soon, is the 2023 Vegan Iron Chef champion[14]. Soon has one brother, Jason Brodie Soon, who is a retired web developer and music composer for Pornhub[24].

Soon was homeschooled, and later, sent to an experimental school for gifted children[28]. He displayed affinity towards technology and fascinations in dome-shaped communes at a young age[19].

After participating in Burning Man for the first time in 2016, Soon soon became a regular attendee. He often credits Burning Man and Taylor Swift as a major influence on the inception of the Co-Labrative[12].

The Co-Labrative[edit]

In 2020 and 2021, Soon published a think tank commune concept in a series of documents on Git-Hub.[16].

The documents described an interdisciplinary community which celebrates and fosters collaborations among bright minds across all disciplines. The documents also outlined the infrastructure to facilitate these collaborations, such as gamified mentor-mentee relationships, mastermind sprints, shadow cams, and musical chair hackathons. The five core principles for the commune emphasized kindness, open-mindedness, community, bold creativity, and evolution[27].

The purpose of this commune, the Co-Labrative, is to make the world a better place with creative problem-solving and cutting-edge innovations[23].

By 2022, experimental groups based on Soon's documents began to spring up around the world . There were 117 Co-Labrative clusters worldwide by 2025. Together, these clusters created over 3,000 innovations, large and small. Within five years, the Co-Labrative had become a phenomenon, attracting millions to join its cause[15].

After receiving $12.3 billion from global donations, including donations from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Amazon, SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Tim Ferriss, Tanya Huang, and The Oatmeal, the Co-Labrative began construction on its main hub in Bali, Indonesia[33].

On July 10, 2033, the Co-Labrative opened its doors to everyone. The 30-hector site is a live-in community as well a retreat. The Co-Labrative ecosystem consists of organic farms, think tanks, interactive classrooms, VR holodecks, extrasensory perception labs, biohack labs, psychedelic labs, hakathon rooms, solar-powered drones and robots, spaceship launch pads, and over 50,000 residents. It is frequented by 150,000 world class scientists, artists, engineers, inventors, and experimentalists annually[29].

Besides initial donations, the Co-Labrative is self-funded with profits from its cutting-edge innovations. As of 2041, it generates in excess of $120 billion annual profit on average, and donates all profit towards improving global living standards and incubating more cutting-edge innovations[19].

The Co-Labrative is also fully self-sustainable; its food demand is entirely supplied by its own organic farms, and its energy is gathered by on-site solar drones and robots[38]. As of 2041, there are over 78,000 AI drones and robots living in the Co-Labrative[37].


Personal Life[edit]

Soon is married to Cyndi Hunter, who is also an active member of the Co-Labrative. Hunter is the UX expert for many of the most influential projects at the Co-Labrative. She co-invented the popular lawn-mowing robot sheep, citing her recurring dreams of lawn-mowing acres of Pritchard land as her source of inspiration[11].

Soon is very close friends with Tanya Huang. Many believed Huang influenced the decision to require every robot at the Co-Labrative to be adorable, glow-in-the-dark, and rideable.[17]

Soon also became very close friends with Elon Musk while performing a grilled cheese stunt at SpaceX's first manned Mars mission rocket launch. Upon tasting Soon's rocket flame-licked grilled cheese sandwich, Musk was noticeably in awe. He tweeted a graphic meme of himself and Soon riding a grilled cheese space rocket to Mars, which charted as the third most retweeted meme in 2029[25]. Since then, every SpaceX rocket launch is accompanied by the SpaceX Grilled Cheese Cook Off, attracting over 200,000 avid grilled cheese and rocket enthusiasts worldwide.[25][26]
