With strong vision, good team, proper resources and taste; it would seem anything is possible.

​

We can take on the hardest problems of our time, but not alone and certainly not without direction.

​

Lunar rovers need better dust seals, 3D printers on Mars won't have the luxury of errors, people need help navigating our cities; and oh yeah, we should probably figure out that energy problem.

​

Fortunately; there is a ceaseless fountain of these problems and appropriate funding!

​

These challenges cannot be tackled alone however and the paperwork intimidating, a vast orchestration of resources will be required to allow flexibility and yet assure success. Typically a company would be founded to specialize in the pursuit of a particular category of grant with a modest retained staff, this generates an observed boom bust cycle and overspecialization.

There are technicalities but generally it would appear that up to half of a grant may be performed by contractors, that we need for each grant a few full time employees and one or more die-hards.

​

By having a public ledger of all available people and resources we will collectively be able to scour these grants, organize into sub groups, present arguments, recruit and when appropriate - apply for these grants.

Our scale and openness will allow for quick assessment of our ability to approach problems and budget resources, a co-op model would reward all parties and incentivize higher responsibility roles. Generally one should consider themselves a steward of the funds allocated rather than the money as a wage. Such a company as this could exist in both a physical and digital domain, some projects will require concentration in a physical space. For this we may establish small offices, develop partnerships with existing companies and utilize makerspaces.
