The Manifesto
01. The Hybrid Promise
REVERB is not a typical tech startup; we are building a "Hybrid Model" inspired by the Mozilla ethos.
- The Engine Operations are managed by a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), legally bound to prioritize social good over shareholder profit.
- The Soul Our brand, data ethics, and surplus revenue are governed by a nonprofit mandate.
- The Commitment We do not take "dirty" VC funding, seeking independence through a transparent cover charge.
02. Data Sovereignty
We believe your data is an extension of your personhood, not a product.
- No Extraction We will never sell, lease, or trade your information to third-party brokers.
- Radical Minimization We only ask for what we need—your current resonance, not a "cover letter" life.
- Ephemeral by Design Presence in the Room expires to ensure active, immediate connection.
03. The Ethos
- Come As You Are No presentation rules; we celebrate the unvarnished self.
- Fluidity Welcome Whether queer-curious, T4T, or seeking kink, this is a space for honest desire.
- Safety First Zero tolerance for hate speech or corporate tourism.
04. Economics
- Support for Trans Youth Surplus revenue is dedicated to gender-affirming care and mutual aid.
- User Ownership We are exploring co-op structures to ensure the community has a voice.
05. Legal Shield
Until formal incorporation is finalized, you are participating in an early-stage community project. By joining the list, you hold the founders harmless from claims arising from this pre-launch phase.
