@burrito.space is ringing the alarm bell and I agree with him.
Double down on creating shared structures (co-ops etc) and pooling funds to support each other.
Mutual aid, even. Yes @rude1.blacksky.team way out ahead of this as per usual.

the Atmosphere needs a LOT of care to be a functioning space for us all to have nice things.
there are many people here with experience in tradbiz, both sides of grant and philanthropic funding
there was even an expert in co-op structures at #atmosphereconf!

offer to help!
dms open!

Putting my time where my #atmosphereconf ecosystem mouth is: if any early-stage ATProto team needs help honing their ops or strategy, ping me.
If we are aligned, we can find a way to make it work.

atprOtO is a giant pile of economics problems people keep misconstruing as engineering or product problems. Raise money and hire a COO, or better yet, hire a fractional COO now and pay them in whatever combination of equity and cash you can manage so they can help you raise them a FTE salary.

As #ATmosphereConf draws to a close, this is a good time for me to let folks know that I'm looking for paid work!
I have a strong background in project management in tech, and apparently am decent at event planning too now!
If you need help with a project, let me know!
(reshares appreciated) 💚💜
