This sounds more like exiting SV than rewilding tech. Though roam is probably rewilding of sorts. Rewilding content.

There is a tendency to mythologize exits. Like Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt etc. Turning ordinary migrations into promised land marches. It’s a separate current in the zeitgeist rn. I don’t think it has much to do with post-SV tech. You just happen to like both.

I mean you’re the connection. Whatever you build will reflect both. But I’m betting it won’t feature in most post-SV tech megatrends. It’s not as common an intersection as it might seem in this corner of Twitter.
