@DemocraticTechFund I’m a little confused about the projects currently up on the site, are these seeded from Goteo? Some of them seem to have concluded a while ago.

We are building this as an international alliance, a federation of members. At #Mozfest we came together with some of the co-founders, like @fkinstitute@social.coop, @platoniq@mastodon.social, #goteo @newsmast@backend.newsmast.org, @commonsnetwork@todon.nl, and several brave individual members; thanks for your presence @sabinacuccibar@cyberplace.social Vera from @coopdescommuns@mamot.fr /@vgrass@chaos.social

Together we aim to support projects willing to campaign for their projects at the DTF platform. Read our Call for Projects democratictech.fund/news/dtf...

#DTF Let’s get Down To Fund!

Now we’re launching the Democratic Tech Crowd Fund platform. Like Goteo, it is a civic crowd funding platform, for commons-based projects, where people can show their projects and ask for a little bit of help or a small donation. If done well, small contributions add up and transformative projects become reality.

DTF exists to make #DemocraticTech projects come to live. Any community centred project where the people are in control, also over their tech. Powerful open source, decentralised set ups that help communities realise their social mission, and where shared knowledge and replicability is part of the design.
