Background
We now live in a world where we must ask hard questions about the technology we provide to corporations and governments, how that technology is used and how to deal with the inherent centralization of power that comes with machine based intelligence. We believe that a redesign of how we collect data, how we use that data and how we govern that data is required in order to make humans central to the solutions technology provides.
We are building an organization that is more akin to an ecosystem than a corporation, that addresses these problems with humancentric solutions that are open and open source. This new platform recognizes that data is a natural resource and gives each of us full autonomy over our data. We look for strong values driven people that share our vision.
