Project Volarity

February 2025

This project is a rather personal project. I originally set out to create a tracking platform for the psychedelic industry and its events for my own uses privately. After deeper market research, I realized that Psychedelic Alpha already tracked the psychedelic industry with much precision and depth, however that platform still did not track events. This led me to greater insight into how I wanted to curate Volarity in its totality.

Because of my limited capital and great ambitions, I decided to make this project accessible by making it a paid service. This way, I can reinvest into the project while also helping others with what my platform can provide.

What is Project Volarity?

Project Volarity is a platform to track breakthrough industries.[1]

I intend to completely cover the complexity that any industry I choose to track has. Upon its release the project will admittedly only be capable of tracking a handful of industries due to a low budget and time constraints. As a tradeoff because of my hindrances, I am entirely focused on creating an immersive experience through the choice architecture and platform infrastructure.

Objectivity and Humility

I am completely aware of AI agents and the release of Deep Research by OpenAI. I admire the work that AI agents can do, but I also understand that AI agents are bound to the guidance of the user. These rapid progressions do pose a threat, but I sincerely doubt it will ruin the overall impact of my work. As humans, we are typically constrained by what we know and what we are exposed to. Volarity can expose you to products and services that you did not know existed, without having to explicitly look for them. This project overall aims to provide value through exposure as well as access to real time data regarding the tracked industries.

Final Thoughts

Whether or not Volarity is for you would be up to you. People can be drawn to the same thing for different reasons. I am deliberately making Volarity to really get intimate with different nodes of interest in what I consider a breakthrough industry. Maybe you are interested in knowing new AI products only, or maybe you want to find conferences in the Psychedelic Industry. Volarity can definitely help you achieve those aims with precision and nuance by simply making a choice to engage with the exposed points of interest.

Footnotes

  1. [1] My own interpretation of a breakthrough industry is an industry that is capable of rapidly influencing the human world at large and/or soon capable of making what has only been in fiction a reality. In order to specify what this could mean, let us use one of the planned tracked industries to clarify this. I personally believe the psychedelic industry is considered a breakthrough industry due to its exemplary marks with healing the mind, but also with its unique experiences that come from it. Also to mention the impact psychedelics can have on physical performance and cognition skills. Psychedelics becoming publicly acknowledged is very interesting as it has many interconnections with health and tech. In my eyes it fits the requirements to a breakthrough industry. To be frank, this is all relative to what my interpretation of a breakthrough industry is, your interpretation can be completely different and that is fine.
