Currently on a $7k per month contract from “Commenta Projects” that funds my open source social engineering work, in exchange for scouting investment opportunities for them & giving them a heads up of anything relevant in the territories I monitor & operate in.
Additionally I have a budget of 5k per month to invest in early stage projects or people.
Current need: sponsors for the September Event and any research grants or funding sources that can help me recoup personal savings I’ve been spending on this open source work, or that I can use for launching bigger things & hiring the people I need.
