Seeking Blockchain Co-Founder for Nonprofit AI Language Startup (2000+ African Languages)

The Problem:
OpenAI, Meta, and Orange recently announced efforts to build AI for African languages. But here’s the catch: Africa has 2,000+ languages, many with little to no digital data. Without datasets, even the best AI models can’t bridge this gap.

What We’re Doing:
We’re a nonprofit team building a blockchain and tokenomics-powered solution to crowdsource, validate, and incentivize the creation of African language datasets. Think decentralized data ownership, community-driven contributions, and equitable AI access.

Who We Are:

- A team of 4 founders with 27+ combined years in product development, startups, and AI/data systems.

- Backgrounds: AI engineer, Data Engineer, Statistician, Product Engineer, Non-profit and Funding

- Committed to impact over profit (nonprofit structure).

We Need You:

- Blockchain/tokenomics expertise (Solana, Polygon, smart contracts, token design).

- Technical enough to lead protocol development.

- Aligned with the mission: Solve the data desert for African languages.

- Comfortable with early-stage uncertainty (we’re pre-funding).

No Fluff:

- This isn’t a “get rich quick” project, it is for the long haul. If you want hype, look elsewhere.

- We’re not here to compete with OpenAI or any other AI war-lord—we’re solving the foundational problem they can’t ignore.

- Remote work, no location preference.

If This Resonates:
DM me with:

- Your experience with blockchain projects

- Why you would like to join us.

- A brief intro about yourself

Let’s build something real.

P.S. Already working on African language datasets, blockchain for social impact, or decentralized AI? Let’s collaborate, not compete.
