If you like:

• root cause, system level solutions
• with massive TAM potential
• that support everyday needs and big social purposes
• and utilize bleeding edge tech, novel monetization and more

have we got a project for you!

What we are up to:

Web42 is building KYN (Know Your Neighbors), a fully decentralized network of decentralized neighborhood networks plus dApps (decentralized applications), to do two big things:

• bring back the neighborhood
• ○ more engaging, resilient and inclusive than ever
• ○ enterprise powers for neighbors and communities, made accessible for all
• ○ support people sharing their IRL (off-screen as much as possible) lives and resources smoothly
• ○ strong identity and verification (no device, card or biometrics needed for many uses), community safe anonymity, community fintech, mutual aid, and more
• fix the Internet https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2020/03/30/were-fixing-the-internet-join-us/
• ○ starts with monetization fixes - monetization drives design drives group dynamics, etc.
• ○ put people in control of their digital selves - can't be evil, by design
• ○ decentralize controls
• ○ flexible, positive social theory driven (rather than ad, etc. driven) governance, grouping, etc.
• ○ best balance between privacy (anon & pseudo by default - pairwise pseudonyms for most interactions) and community safety
• ○ Internet, itself, is optional.

Where we are with that:

Right now we have the first set of core technologies built and are about to head into alpha with our first dApp, a dApp which is designed to help people make 3 close friends within a 5 minute walk & build those local webs of trust that drive everyday happiness and resilience.

Why we would love to partner with you:

We are not Silicon Valley standard. Our tech, underserved markets, go-to-market, monetization and even investment options are not standard. We are what comes next.

We are not, however, marketing pros.

Very open to hearing your ideas for projects - those that best suit your learning & social purpose objectives, etc. Below are a couple ideas that we have.

A few ideas:

• External analysis plus integrated online/offline communication strategy. Who are our best likely customer groups now and for the next 3 years? Given our social purpose, bootstrapped funding and fully decentralized, hyperlocal focused tech stack, how should we be cohesively connecting with them both online and offline? Why?
• Web positioning, social media, other outreach, etc. suggestions for: General neighbor customers, Grantors and community organizations, Philanthropists, Apt/mall and similar managers plus land developers

Off the top of our heads, we can do:

• milestone meetings
• scrum style check-ins (every other day, 5-10)
• weekly check-ins (30 mins - more if explicitly needed)

Open to other options. How can we make this the best possible experience for you? :)
