Elastic Fund Matching
Positron is building PrizeForge, a production finance model for Open Source. We're shipping our two-dimensinoal fund-matching prototype to bootstrap our development and begin iterating & gathering a community. Check out our vision to learn where we're headed. Sign up now to take part in the bootstrapping PrizeForge Self-Funding Stream!
Unlike existing social finace, we keep the power with the users. Programmers who build our stuff can focus on coding not "selling". Delegates can create accountability and clear communication so you don't have to log in every week or have a PhD in Wayland Compositor programming. Elastic Fund Matching produces recurring streams with dynamic thresholds. Week after week, matched funds will go to the right places without having to raise funds over and over.
Every midnight on Sunday (GMT -12:00, latest timezone, the middle of the Pacific) all streams begin matching again. A weekly cycle enables responsive rewarding of those doing good work while also being friendly to the human-scale rhythm of building things, either during the week or primarily on weekends. Ongoing enrollments will automatically start matching again, setting new thresholds and recruting new contributors.
