About Settle the West
Settle the West is a remote worker relocation program that brings high-income tech workers to partner towns across South Dakota and Wyoming. Modeled on Tulsa Remote's proven success, it offers relocation packages, community integration, and landing pad housing.
The Opportunity
Remote work is permanent — 35% of workers are fully remote. Rural towns need population growth. Settle the West bridges this gap with a proven model: Tulsa Remote generated $170M+ economic impact. BHC scales this to 9 partner towns across the Northern Plains.

Settle the West is the population engine. Remote workers need housing (Pass Creek), their kids need education (Seed Academy), they spend money locally (THE OP), and their success stories attract more workers. Each relocator is a multiplier across the entire consortium.
