and it was being hosted in a very beautiful venue which is the historic M Museum like Science and History Museum Science and Historic Museum and we basically Vivian got up and talked about gov zero at the event I was there talking about design thinking about uh impact and and stuff so we connected there and this is what coming uh funding comment is for funding comment brings together like-minded people who care about impact who think there can be Alternatives in our society alternative mechanisms that we can drive the society in a more ALU altruistic future in a way so this is we we really do encourage everyone to talk to the people next to you because they can be an expert in Impact in a lot of different things and maybe there will be a funing Comon big or small in somewhere in the future uh next year too yeah so we originally didn't know each other and we met in New York and decided that we want to do something together and that something uh started as like wanting to bring founding commment to Taiwan but eventually become stalo which is the like really relatively huge uh Civic Tech uh Civ Community relatively huge Civic Tech communities with over 2030 like core contributors
