Deconet

Blockchain Infrastructure for Distributed Cooperatives and the Digital Knowledge Economy. 

1. What is the problem that you are committed to solving?

The creators and makers of the gig + freelance economies are not able to retain the fair value of their contributions because the paradigm they work in has them rent out their time for an hourly salary. This is a vestige of a time when organizations needing to be physically together to create value and makes it difficult to build wealth, as the value is inequitably captured by facilitators.

2. What is the solution you are proposing?

We're creating the marketplace, tools, and interfaces for distributed teams to function as revenue sharing companies and / or platform cooperatives. Our initial focus is on software developers and product teams, and then we intend to generalize the product to the rest of the digital knowledge economy.


3. How will your solution change the world?

Wealth inequality is one of the largest challenges our world faces and it's also a keystone issue, which creates many more problems for the planet and species. By brining the scales back into balance by enabling creators to maintain more the the value they create, the world will change for the better.

We now live in a world where money is programable. At Deconet, we're applying programmable money (aka the blockchain based world computer) to a specific problem area.

The technology of programmable money (blockchain) is integral to our solution.

By July of 2019, we'd like to see 100+ platform co-ops / rev share orgs building software and capturing economic value using Deconet technology.

Over the next 5 year, the number of people connected to the internet will be close to 5 billion these billions will need ways to both collaborate and get paid.

We're in the midst of hosting the largest blockchain hackathon of all time: hacksummit.org/hackaton

Events like these plus referral bonuses to boost word of month customer acquisition will enabled us to tap into the most relevant communities.

~5000 developers, all over the world

12 months: 50,000 Developers

3 years: 3 Million Digital Knowledge Workers

We expect to move from a developer focus to a more general focus, enabling us to serve more people and diverse teams.

We've got a stellar team, visionary story, and are solving impactful issues. 

These skills include a deep technical expertise in blockchain and product building as well as experience in building cash flow positive software businesses. 

We're still sorting out the specifics of our revenue model. It's looking like companies / enterprise will have to pay to access the talent pool and create offers. This is the 'standard' devtools revenue model.

We want to connect with the solve global community because of it's focus on the future that's both optimistic and pragmatic.

Exposure to the world. Connections to governments.
