I, W. Kirk Love, am a computer science associate professor at Utah Valley University in Orem Utah. My students and I have talked for years about how our work often eliminating jobs causing much turmoil in people’s lives. We are very worried about what robots (both hardware and software) of the very near future are going to do to availability of jobs.
After much thought and debate, we have a solution and are working hard to implement it. We need your help to get this off of the ground while most of us are still employed.
The solution is http://CoStarter.Com, a company that is being created to help people join together, buy machines, and partner with existing companies to generate and share profits produced by that machine. You can read more at https://costarter.com/Home/HowItWorks .
CoStarter’s operating software is being developed by my students in several highly controlled University Software Development classes. CoStarter, LLC, then pays royalties back to the University to continue funding education in Computer Science and helping students develop solutions to job displacement caused by automation.
Your money is needed to help employ some of these students so they can continue and finish up their work. We also need paid student inturns to begin the marketing phases of our operation and some money to rent server time to support our site.
You have my personal commitment that none of your money will go to pay salaries or bonuses for CoStarter's founders and managers, they are also donating their time and money to get this solution underway.
Please note that company development is under the following timeline:
Current date through end of May 2015 -- Finish up Website as funded through your contributions.
June 2015 through May 2016 -- Offer 5 to 10 highly controlled projects for funding. These projects place equipment purchased by an Earning Community within established businesses with a solid track record.
June of 2016 -- Open for funding of any project that meets our criteria as specified on our web site http://CoStarter.com .

All of the above items plus the paperback book "Robotics: DISCOVER THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE with 20 PROJECTS (Build It Yourself)
- 0 claimed
All of the previous perks plus a piece of ore (from 3 to 5 inches across) taken from the main vain of a production gold mine. You will also receive a document outlining the history of that mine and a certificate of authentication from the company that provided the independent assay of the mine. We can make no claims as to the actual gold content within the ore sample also there is no ore rock that is exactly the same so your's will vary from image shown.
