What is JETco.?

JETco. – founded by Eli Schleicher & Jake Stepansky – creates extraordinary gatherings that inform and inspire. These unique, non-illusory experiences are built out from familiar circumstances. We take existing modes of gathering and invert them (structurally), complicate them (theatrically), and fuse them (generatively). We harness the energy of the collective and amplify it, channel it, and direct it towards meaningful action.

In addition to creating these gatherings, we also study them and share our findings in an effort to spark passion for (good) gathering. We believe that gathering and gathering well are fundamental to making the world more equitable, less lonely, more joyful, less fractured, and more just.

We are currently developing several projects and actively seeking producing partners to help us bring them to your local venue, organization, festival, or other group. We're also building long-term relationships as a part of our collaborative & democratized approach to gathering design. Please get in touch if you’d like to help us host an extraordinary gathering, if you’d like to co-create a gathering with us, or if you’d like to learn more about us and our work.
