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

Knight Foundation's kind of an exception here, tbh, and has a specific interest that's different from the VCs—and also a specific connection into the protocol. I'd love to see them send money to a slew of atmosphere projects and I wouldn't be super surprised if they did.

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.

Hey! @bmann.ca and @trezy.codes are interested in a list of people that are available to do consulting / contracting work on ATproto, and we can share that list with companies that need you. If you want to appear on this list: 👇️
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.
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:

Google is now screwing with the 10 blue links in traditional search and rewriting headlines - including ours - to be the worst kind of slop. This sucks so bad theverge.com/tech/896490/google-replace-ne…
