Hi all,

I had a conversation with the CEO of the Thiel foundation this weekend, and I learned that they've begun a new experiment involving the distribution of grants to organizations who are in some way changing the way things are done in this world, with favor towards STEM (undoubtedly due to Thiel's bias toward democratizing those fields).

I mentioned that I've been doing my fellowship work at the Omni commons, and have described the place as it is - a haphazard collection of interesting collectives, and she took significant interest in that.

Would this be a conversation the Omni fundraisers would like to continue? There could be good outcomes, given Sudo and CCL's presence and activity in the commons.

(If so I'd also like to be an observer in the process, as this year I'll have to do a fundraising round of my own so any experience is valuable!)

Cheers,
-Adam
