A civilizational ecosystem in the Carpathians
× Hedonist Group
Ukraine's first civilizational brand — from heritage to economic force
Why Trypillia. Why now.
The Trypillian culture (5th–3rd millennium BCE) is one of Europe's oldest proto-civilizations, with proto-cities of 15,000 inhabitants, a distinctive ornamental language, and an advanced agrarian cycle. Unlike the Minoans or Sumer, Trypillia has no canonical universe yet — no foundational book, no game franchise, no cinematic world. A globally significant resource open for IP creation from a clean slate.
Skole hromada is where Ukraine's cultural belt meets Central Europe's. One hour from Lviv, with rail access, four EU borders nearby, and year-round tourist flow (ski season + summer + wellness + MICE). The Hedonist Group business infrastructure has been assembled over 10+ years.
After the Lviv Recovery Conference, European focus on Ukraine opened mechanisms at UNESCO, the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Fund, and bilateral donor programs. The IP market actively seeks new cultural universes. Reassembling this portfolio from scratch today would require 7–10 years and 2–3× the cost.
«The memorandum defines what is being built. The Circle defines who lives within it. The infrastructure platform defines where this civilization comes alive.»
The greatest risk for a project of this scale is to mix two fundamentally different activities under one frame: heritage protection as a public good, and the construction of a commercial universe on top of it. We resolve this by cleanly separating the two natures that operate as a single living system.
First nature
The foundation. That which will never be commercially profitable.
Institutional anchoring, digitization, scientific verification, canon building, an editorial core, the book, the museum module, educational programs. The natural object of donor, grant, and state funding.
Entry mechanisms: Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Fund, UNESCO, European Team for Cultural Heritage Ukraine, Cultural Resilience Alliance, bilateral donor commitments.
Second nature
The tree. That which scales globally.
Virtual reality, documentary and feature films, international tour, video game, licensing, franchise, the co-creators' Circle club infrastructure. This is where Kolo Trypillia lives.
Sustainability pathway: the donor investment creates a foundation that subsequently lives and scales through a self-sustaining ecosystem.
«Donors fund the roots. The Circle grows the tree. The platform is the soil where it grows.»
The architecture of a living community
A. Canon
C. Mass universe
B. Prestige layer
D. Civic rooting
«An investor in the Circle of Influence doesn't sponsor culture — they take root in an ecosystem where civilizational heritage becomes economic force, and where their contribution returns twofold: as financial yield and as the intangible capitalization of name, reputation, and authorship in a brand that outlives generations.»
The infrastructure platform
Casino Gredliv Business Hub, Skole
The museum core with the verified collection of Trypillian artefacts, digital models, interactive settlement maps. The collection becomes the core of the Canon module, around which the entire scientific and visual base is built.
Boykoland, Verkhnie Synovydne
VR immersion, interactive reconstructions, immersive spaces. Here, the visitor doesn't look at Trypillia — they enter it. Equestrian farm, closed-cycle agro-civilization, festival ground.
Hedonist Club, Korostiv
The private space for the meetings, negotiations, and events of the Circle of Influence and the Circle of Creation. Club mechanics: B2B connections, investment deals, joint planning. A membership format on the level of Soho House × Quintessentially.
Skole Beskydy Residential Complex, Skole + Apres Ski Chalet + Ukrainian DNA art space
A space that connects the past and the present: design, art, collections, exhibitions, public events. The entry point into the project's urban layer.
«The Circle does not adapt to the existing space — the space is reformatted to fit the Circle's architecture. Form follows content.»

Skolivshchyna · Carpathians
World Zone
The first residential complex with elevators and income-generating real estate in the Skole Beskydy. The urban entry point to the Trypillia universe.
Canon Zone · part of the Gredl Palace
The future business center of Skole on the site of the Gredl family's casino and house of culture. A restored cultural marker. The museum-scientific core.
Experience Zone · Verkhnie Synovydne
The first true eco-hotel in Ukraine. The Experience Zone of the Trypillia Circle. A Trypillian proto-city park, equestrian farm, festival ground.
Circle Zone · Korostiv
A club of co-creators in the Carpathians. A living civilization that revives the Trypillian culture of pleasure. The closed core of the ecosystem.
Private residence · Circle extension
A premium residence for high-level receptions, stays of key Circle members, and closed formal events. Extends the private-contour infrastructure of the ecosystem.
A unique, non-reproducible part. Not decoration, not a private collection — this is a ready-made raw base for a civilizational brand that, combined with the physical platform, becomes a world-class brand. Without these assets, the world of Trypillia must be built from scratch. With them, the project receives verified artefacts, a scientific base, visual icons, and operational production processes.
Strategic significance
The single most valuable asset of the entire project. Within the two-natures model, it serves as the scientific evidentiary base — without which neither the «World of Trypillia» as IP, nor international donor funding, would be possible. For comparison: «The Witcher» (CD Projekt Red) holds an IP capitalization of 4B+ USD built on a literary source. The World of Trypillia rests on a stronger starting foundation — an authentic archaeological collection scientifically verified.
Strategic significance
A dual strategic function. First — a contextual frame: Trypillia is shown not in isolation but in dialogue with other ancient civilizations and their religious systems. Second — opens the door to special diplomatic and donor funding formats: projects fostering inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue.
Strategic significance
A bridge between two foundational narratives of Ukrainian identity: the deepest civilizational layer (Trypillia) and the 20th-century struggle to preserve it. Strategically protects the project from any «museumification of the past» critique by showing the unbroken continuity of Ukraine's fight for its own culture.
Strategic significance
Reveals the resource base of the territory from which the Trypillian civilization grew. Connects ancient civilization with present-day Ukraine as a single geological and cultural space — explicitly including territories under temporary occupation.
Strategic significance
A Ukrainian analog of Goodwood Festival of Speed × Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este × ICE St. Moritz — with a Trypillian accent. A ready commercial contour for the Circle of Influence: 3–5 premium events per year for HNWI (Leopolis Grand Prix, motoring soirées, rallies, exhibitions) — the canonical format for engaging high-net-worth audiences.
Strategic significance
Dual-purpose: sport and breeding (revenue from foal sales, starting fees) + image/event function in the Circle of Experience. The FSA certification — uncommon in the region — places the asset on the international equestrian map.
Strategic significance
A direct line to early agrarian culture. The apiary demonstrates the Carpathians' agricultural continuity, supplies an authentic product for the project's retail showcase, and serves as living content for the Circle of Experience's educational programs.
Strategic significance
A ready F&B layer for the entire Circle: part of the closed-club gastronomy programme, welcome drinks for events, corporate gifts, an export window for Ukraine on global markets. The 500K USD valuation is conservative — craft-premium spirit brands in Eastern Europe scale 5–10× over 3–5 years.
Total intangible asset valuation — 12,750,000+ USD. Not a warehouse of collections but an integrated civilizational base — with a ready brand, certifications, production processes, and documented scientific oversight.
