Float community launch call next week!

Hi GOATs!!

I’d like to invite you to Float’s first round of community calls.

July 22nd at 10am PT / 1pm ET
July 29th at 11am PT / 2pm ET

All are welcome and each call will cover the same info! In a nutshell, the goal of Float (Funding Lab for Open Agroecological Technologies) is to bridge the concept of a collabathon with a democratic funding process, where:

  • A community of practices identifies needs and priorities;
  • Decides on how best to respond to them through shared project proposals;
  • And then choose together which initiatives to fund!

Agenda for these calls

  • The what and why of Float - origins, ideas, precedents and people and organizations helping to make this happen
  • Short film screening on the making of Float
  • The how
    • A deep dive in the process design
    • Timeline
    • The tools we’re using to enable this initiative
  • Total available funding pool for round 0
  • A first view of the Polis data
  • Ask us anything - An open question and answer period
