Support the capacity that makes useful AI endure.
Give to the Institute. Fund a named year, a first service, or a country opening. Support local builders, institutional learning, and the evidence needed to carry responsible AI from a demonstration into lasting local capability.
The funding thesis
Different social missions require different capital.
Venture capital rightly funds what can scale and exit; it cannot fund what must stay. Philanthropic and catalytic capital can. The model is non-extractive by construction: no equity taken, surplus recirculating, capability compounding where it is built.
A funder kindles the fire for a limited period. The local entity carries it. The approach is blended from the start rather than dependent on grants.
Paths into the work
From a named year to a geography.
01 · One named year
A faculty or scholar year
A doctoral, postdoctoral, or visiting faculty year studying AI Translation, hosted with an academic partner. This is how Faculty and Scholars are grown, not only papers.
02 · A cohort or first service
Builder seats and first services
Sponsored places in doáb cohorts, and the first services a community puts into operation. A circle of ten is as useful as a single seat, if the people are real and the work is theirs.
03 · The shared floor
Infrastructure and evidence
The technical floor builders stand on, and the evidence program that documents everything honestly, negative results included. One gift here lowers the cost of every venture that follows.
04 · The flagship · typically three years
A country or regional partnership
One arc of measure, form, cycle, and return, structured as build, operate, and transfer, ending in a locally owned center that joins the cooperative. The largest unit, and the one that compounds all the others.
Gifts are received by the Institute, a Delaware nonprofit corporation. Its application for federal 501(c)(3) recognition is in preparation. Restricted funds are governed by written agreement, and the flow of funds between the Institute and doáb is published.
A second currency
Not every gift is cash.
Technology foundations and labs
Credits, compute, model access, and engineering time. Not product placement. Access that local teams can actually use, under the same transfer and evidence rules as every other gift.
Academic partners
Host a fellow. Second faculty. Open a clinic, a classroom, or a department as a study site. The Institute holds the questions and the standard; the university holds the people and the place.
