Co-Founder: PT Research/Outreach/Partnership Director
Who We Are:
WinWisely.org is an open source nonprofit and free to activists mobile-friendly app that is being created to answer what we and probably most organizers consider the mother of all organizing/mobilizing challenges, especially for movements like ExtinctionRebellion, Fridays for Future, SunriseMovement, etc:
How can mass civil resistance campaigns recruit, commit, and support the massive numbers of volunteers to do the big impact tasks, including direct action, that will be necessary to win the battles we must now fight to save the planet and democracy, and defeat grotesque wealth inequality before it's too late?
Our aim is take mobilizing, especially for direct action and strikes, a giant leap forward because history shows that mass civil resistance as always been the sin qua non for all major positive social change in America since the late 1800s, and is now our only option to save what is still savable of mother nature and democracy.
We'll be creating a one-stop mobile-friendly human centered app, web-based, with a unique integration of four motivational evidence-based functionalities.
So we say WinWisely is "Behavioral economics, Kickstarter (but for volunteer actions not money, hence crowdACTing, not crowdfunding) and peer-bonding, meets movement organizing." We also think we've got a good marketing idea or two for getting the 3-6M potential big task activists out there to come to us and register.

Help these campaigns with their questions and offering support. The goal is to maximize both our effectiveness in helping these campaigns and their satisfaction with our tools, which includes identifying bottlenecks and anything else that is reducing our ability to send the campaigns lots of committed volunteers

4. Optional: occasional face to face user testing or help finding user testers to do this interviewing

8. additional duties as they come up in response to needs of the beta test campaign organizers

$700-1200 for the first month with regular raises tied to funding. Range will depend on hours and if can also do user-testing
We hope, however to raise sufficient funds by the end of August or September to be able to provide at least enough to cover people's basic expenses and hopefully much more. Once we have achieved POC, you can expect a competitive salary.
Our chief cofounder has been a fundraiser most of his life (raised $1.5 for many of his docs, for Nader, election protection, for the Green Party, Dems running for US Senate, etc), and is optimistic about raising sufficient funding to provide livable income for all WinWisely cofounders (who will get paid before himself!) He has also been the chief cofounder of two prior social venture startups that have succeeded, one which recently raised $275k within past year and might soon be hugely successful, and eventually help fund WinWisely once it is sufficiently revenue positive.
LOCATION: You can be anywhere, but indicate where in sub line, and indicate phone in sig.
