"Drones" "artificial intelligence" "start-up"
Sounds like a scheme to scam money out of government grants, bloated charities/aid agencies and/or VCs. I’m surprised blockchain isn’t (yet?) involved.
Is there any evidence that throwing seeds at the ground is the bottleneck in fighting deforestation as opposed to for example the lack of suitable land to plant these in where the trees would actually be viable?
As another commenter points out, if seed distribution is the only bottleneck in fighting deforestation then a potato cannon will work just as well and will probably come out cheaper (and more fun!), but then you wouldn't become CEO of a "tech for good", AI-drone startup.
- wang_li 5y agoI’d like to invite you to invest in my startup. We’ve got hundreds of strains of trees that will self plant millions of trees each year.
- mirekrusin 5y agoBut do you have NFT to sell "your own tree" to people or not?
- jjeaff 5y agoWow, self planting trees, that's brilliant! Exponential growth!
- grendelt 5y agoIt's a subscription model. You have to pay or we'll cut down all the trees we planted.
- Nextgrid 5y agoIf the trees are self-planting do you have DRM or some other way to make sure you remain in the loop and guarantee some MRR?
