Re:
Anyone in Boston that I should meet while I'm here this week? Joi/his assistants haven't been responding. Meeting Joscha, Lukin, some other quantum physicists. I put together Satio deck (it's how I named 'kickstarter for science' project) - attached. looking for two types of people right now: - scientists/projects to fund (really cool and unique and searching for financing). Have a few in pipeline, creating a funnel;
- potential advisors to select and curate best projects (established scientists able to say yes/know on projects sourced).
Attached is more info.
It's really early, lots of things to figure out but I thought you might have some ideas about whom to meet.
cant be a community, rich people want to be stars not members
Got it. Will shape it.
Is it a bad idea to limit the access to only who is over $19 wealth? I've noted that it's different how millionaires and billionaires support science/non-profits. Millionaires usually trying to make it bring some profit to their business, billionaires - not.
not an issue except community is a group participation, most rich people prefer their own accolades (not me)
talk /skype tmorw?
Figuring out:
Criteria for projects
Advisory board
Right legal structure
How much philanthropy should talk to scientist over the website
Any thoughts about all that?
I've talked to a number of scientists about Satio. I realized that many of them are tremendously depending from universities and hate that.
Liberating scientists from bureaucracies might be a good message for that... it's a very long-term goal but feels like a right direction following general gig economy trend where you less depends on organizations.
We're already videoshooting some scientists to play with right format to present their projects.
yes. I'm online in the morning PST. when is good for you?
later thx
im easy today
ok. just ping me on skype whenever you're free
