Delivering unmatched freedoms to your digital life A startup spin-off of the Trustless Computing Consortium
We are building a mass-market
2mm-thin handheld device and a wifi TV-box
that, jointly, radically exceed state-of-the art in (A) the
privacy and security of your communications, and (B)
in the choice of content and quality of experience of
your home entertainment.
The Big Problem (A)
Privacy and security of digital
communications
self-censorship
data theft
unwanted travel
ì Hardware-secured anonymization box
CivicPod & CivicBox Rich text messaging & voice
comms withother Pods
User’s Phone [here a Samsung
Edge s7]
CivicPod Section
Special Sauce (A) 3. An existing Consortium with globally-unique high-assurance ICT expertises
4. Free and Safe in Cyberspace event series in Brussels, New York, Brazil, to build consensus
1. Extreme levels of security review relative to complexity, down to the CPU and fabrication
2. Citizen-witness &citizen-jury based oversight processes

But, how can we scale exponentially to tens of millions of users!?
Need to solve another big problem!
Very poor choice of content and user experience,
on your home TV, compared to your mobile phone
The Big Problem (B)
1. Just add to the CivicBox
A. Two
front cameras and sensors for 3D finger tips tracking
2. Just add to the CivicPod
A. An off-the-shelf
DVB-T2 tuner
B. An off-the –shelf
Android phone w/FullHD
Anonymization chipset (CivicDongle)
B. Match a CivicPod w/out secure chip to a off-the shelf
DVB-T2 remote: CivicRemote
And magically … you can use the CivicPod to “touch-control” your Android Mobile Account
from your sofa

Timeline & Business Model 1 Month 1-12 CivicPod & Dongle - Build the computing base via the Consortium and the CivicPod & CivicDongle MVP via TRUSTLESS. - Incorporate Trustless Computing Consortium, and enlarge to include 3-4 large financial institutions (and/or mobile telcos) which to be (A) end-users for internal top exec & staff communications; and (B) sales partners to offer CivicPod as alternative to token, that offers offering: one-time-passord, confidential communications, confidential e-banking, password saving. - Establish Trustless Computing Certification Body and consolidate expert consensus on unique security paradigms/value with event series. Beta Testing. - Extreme levels of security and UX review by renowned IT security experts and start, paid/volunteer
Month 15 CivicPod - Go-to-Market. - 10K CivicPod+CivicDongle unit pairs for very high-net-worth individuals, with only security software features enabled, while home entertainment features are “stealth mode” till Month 21. - Sold at 2-4K€ via CivicLabs in center of San Francisco, Berlin and Paris, that also host servers and assembly. Channels Options: (a) Via centercity branches of sales partners, with dual-branding; OR (b) Via own branded stores to “brick and mortar” through co-marketing of high-net-worth individuals’ social clubs (such as
Coockoo’s Next in SF). Corporate discounts of 25-75% for network effects.
Timeline & Business Models 2 Month 16 -21 CivicTV - Build Minimum Viable Product of the CivicTV�- Incorporate the Open TV Next Consortium. Function: governs the UX and priority of default apps in the CivicDongle platform. Governance: 33% by content providers based on viewer-minutes, 34% by users/audience; 33% technology providers. Prospective Full Members: -- Content Members, e.g. major linear and non-linear video content rights holder that AREon Samsung TV, Chromecast, etc., but want to increase they negotiating power towards them; or ARE NOT on them, such as nearly all global/EU/Italian Android mobile video apps (!) and android game, and most local and national TV content producers; server-side-only AI digital assistants/ chatbots seeking unique privacy–based competitve edge (e.g.Viv.ai) �-- Sales partners (mobile or fixed telcos and/or national and local broadcasters),
Month 18 CivicTV –Public Beta, with 10K units Month21-27 Wide-marketroll-out: Around 200-700K unit pairs rolled out to end-user through sales partners (mobile telco and/or banks), with 3 different software activation plans: (A) 30€/mo Security-only; (B) 15$/mo Entertainment-only (C) 40$/mo Security + Entertainment
Financials
Funding
Funding Sought: 3M€ (or 1.7M€ for a go-to-market w/out voice features)
Stage: Round-A (closing 11/2016)
Location: To be incorporated in Berlin, Bay Area or Rome. Bootstrapping: 250-350K€ by founder & Consortium partners
Timeline & Business Model 2+ Month 24- Trustless for high-volume critical AI:
Problem �Makers of moveable high-volume civilian autonomous systems (e.g. robots, drones, cars, digital assistants) are seeking to lower by orders of magnitude the risk of concurrent remote hacking of thousands of product units during operation, to achieve and sustain wide-market uptake and legal authorization for use in dense human environments.
Solution Once established as the most trustworthy general-purpose computing base for confidentiality and integrity, than the TRUSTLESS lifecycle and standards will be extended to include very-high availability against remote attacks in autonomous systems. It will offer computing base components, OEM and value-added services for use in their most critical deterministic sub-systems (e.g. firmware upgrade, connection, security monitoring) of high volume critical autonomous systems.
