Wacky Idea:
Step 1: Create some awful blockchain/gig economy company
Step 2: Hire a 20something white cis man to be a fake co-founder so you can get VC money
Step 3: Instead of wasting tons of VC money on SF office space and free beer, run the company frugally and burn through the rest of the cash on social welfare projects
Step 4: Still don't make profit and fail, just like all of the other startups in the space, but fail with a legacy of turning VC money into actual social good
@cercerilla i was going to say that if you need a fake cofounder for this idea, i'll happily volunteer, but then i realized i probably couldn't stomach the fake blockchain pitch or the meetings with the VCs.
still, godspeed.
@cercerilla White cis man fees are pretty high these days.
@cercerilla I totally support the Robin Hood business model.
@h @cercerilla I suspect this might work exactly one time. But, good luck ;)
@StuC "We're eating or own dogfood with our Blockchain Charitygig Proof of Giving System." Something, something, Dharmacoin, future of community, something, step four profit!
@cercerilla I totally support the Robin Hood business model. But it seems as though it often it ends up converting Robins into Sheriffs of Nottingham. I keep expectations low.
@cercerilla which social welfare projects do you have in mind? are they really worth stealing for?
@chrome @cercerilla Yeah stealing from rich people to help poor people is extremely good. Everyone should be doing it.
@matt @cercerilla Your dream has already come true! Ask any Venezulan, rich or poor, how your strategy is working out for them
@chrome My strategy was not implemented in Venezuela.
@cercerilla wired: actually persuade VC into knowingly funding a welfare project
