Hello Everyone!!!!!!!❖Traveling again to meet the developers
for another big push.....
Me, pretending I’m not tired in
an airport.

Hoping to launch a 1.0 version of spot.us
❖In the next 8-16 days!!!!!
BUT.... This will be a soft launch with very small goals.
(rough estimate)
What are those goals?

Goals During First Phase❖ Break stuff (I’m sure there will be plenty of bugs). Early
users should recognize this is a natural part of the process - and that their feedback is valuable.
❖ Get 3-5 community tips from community members - these act as groups gaining pledges from other members of the community.
❖ Get 3-5 pitches from reporters in the system and start fundraising.
❖ Start a working relationship with at least one “traditional” news organization.

How the Site WorksI. Anyone can create a tip.
II. Journalists create pitches.
III. Crowdfunding beginsIV. Publish content + give it away.
(people “pledge” tips - but no money changes hands)
(people donate to pitches - these can be inspired by tips)
(community organizing is key)
(If somebody wants exclusive rights - must refund original donors)

WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
❖ I’d be lying if I said I knew........... but that’s what makes this a fun and exciting experiment.
❖ Expect improvements: So many features won’t be released in this first version. When we launch the site will be about 1/4th of what we’ve planned. But there’s no better time to start than asap!!!
