Who’s behind it and why?
The NSFNET was founded by a small group of engineers and IT professionals who felt most people were gifted with good ideas during their lifetime but lacked the basic technical skills to turn them into an income or even a startup.
How does it work?
To help them in ways that count the key ingredient provided by the foundation is a working prototype they can use to show off ideas in the real world and get funded. This alongside concise documentation (in plain English) of the technologies used significantly reduces the risks encountered in their venture.
How much does it cost?
Given the ambitious goals of the foundation we optimized our operations so that causes fit in two categories: hardware or software. The budget of a software prototype varies between $1K and $4K. Hardware prototypes can range anywhere between $2K and $8K. In addition, micro-grants of up to $2K are allocated by the foundation to candidates who meet certain criteria and have already been through some form of technical diligence.
What has the foundation achieved so far?
More than a dozen ideas incubated by the NSFNET are currently available for iOS and macOS. We need resources to target more platforms (Android, Windows, etc.). The foundation’s success rate oscillates around 40% but with your help we can easily reach rates of up to 70% by adding a few more key ingredientsto existing and upcoming projects (branding assets, business plans, marketing strategies and monetization modules).
How to join the foundation?
Those who feel they have the necessary motivation and skills to help are welcomed to join the foundation and connect with any of the current members to initiate a dialogue. We are in dire need of PR and/or fundraising talent to promote the NSFNET but we also need financial counseling in order to turn the foundation into an official non-profit organisation.
As the great and wise sage Maimonides famously said: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Thank-you for your kindness.
