I'm a programmer at heart, and by day career, and yet... I'm now trying to help fight what I believe are the world's top two biggest threats or future risks: democracy collapse, and climate collapse. They are strongly inter-connected.
Therefore we're building an interactive software simulation about democracy and propaganda. With the goal of impacting voters, citizens, students, and key decision-makers, as well as providing an additional research tool for scholars.
You provide (any or all of):
-- cash (early/angel; via donations, grants or easy equity terms; anything from $5k to $5M would be signif and appreciated, in terms of concrete impact on our runway and speed/bandwidth; keep in mind that in this space we have ultra-hard external deadlines both in terms of scheduled elections, and ecosystem/agriculural collapse)
-- connections, introductions, promotion (to your following, eyeball feeds, etc.)
-- additional expertise or credibility related to history, psychology, politics/PolySci, foreign affairs or education
-- user/audience impact validation testing
-- QA testing
-- localization/i18n
We provide:
-- gratitude
-- name credits & references
-- as we have budget: paying work on tasks needed, and, potential for early employees
-- equity shares for potential key early partners
We can provide a more detailed pitch document and a preview look, or live demo w/Q&A, of our working prototype software.
If you're fine with waking up one morning to find yourself living in the kind of nighmarish world depicted in the Mad Max or Idiocracy movies, then please... feel free to keep living your normal everyday lives.
If however you want a better future, or at least if you want to be able to look in the mirror and know you've tried your best to achieve it. Or you dont want to ever be forced to explain to your children or grandchildren why your generation -- and why you personally -- left them such a dystopian shithole, then consider perhaps giving us a ping today.
