I am interested in surfacing people and organizations who are available for paid consulting around atproto. Ideally the community can help vouch for folks as interest grows.

I wonder if having some kind of "atproto Foundation" would help with fundraising for the broader atmosphere? Currently there is no easy way to invest in the atmosphere so would-be funders default to bsky cc @ecosystemaction.com

ATProto builders, I've been having some really positive conversations with multiple funders who want to invest in the ecosystem. The tides are shifting, the interest is here. But, we need to talk. 👇

Hey atproto builders, what if we got together to talk about the funding environment and how we sustainably grow our products and orgs? If you're interested in a meeting, add your info here! (context cont'd ⬇️)

News folks! I'm psyched to share a new project to help indie journalists combine our power. It's called NewsNews (@nwsnws.com). The idea is to give readers an easy way to find a wide variety of high quality news and journalists a low-effort revenue stream. Journalists, sign up here to learn more:

There’s some conversation in the Atmosphere right now about how we turn @atproto.com projects into sustainable businesses. One of the biggest opportunities is sitting right in front of us: give publishers back the audience development business they spent the last 20 years outsourcing to platforms.

This shit is why I’m a Journalism On ATProto extremist. We need to own the distribution layer.
