About Authored Eternity
Our mission is simple: to enable people to change the world.
Our Mission
We believe in the power of open science and open decision-making. By blending democratic governance with philanthropy, we aim to unlock breakthroughs in math and science that benefit everyone—not just shareholders or gatekeepers.
Authored Eternity gives donors real power. Your donations don't just fund research—they shape the future of the organization, the projects we support, and the breakthroughs we help unlock.
How It Works
Our platform combines community funding with evidence-based decision making:
- Transparent Donations: See exactly where your money goes. Every donor receives voting power proportional to their contribution, lasting for four years.
- Matching Pool: Donations above the minimum create matching slots for future donors, multiplying the impact of every contribution.
- Voting Rights: Donors vote to choose which research proposals are funded, elect board members who oversee the organization, and vote on policy changes.
- Community Discussion: Review evidence, debate claims openly, and help the community make informed funding decisions together.
Why This Matters
- To leave a lasting legacy. This project is a way to etch something meaningful into history—something that outlives us and honors those who came before. It's a system that gives others the power to shape scientific discovery for generations.
- To help safeguard humanity's future. Foundational science and mathematics are our best tools for navigating an uncertain future. By supporting early-stage research in areas traditional funding often avoids, we're investing in the breakthroughs that could benefit humanity for generations to come.
- To democratize scientific funding. Traditional funding leaves too many voices out. We're building a movement where every donor has a say, and every discovery is shared openly— released into the public domain for everyone to build upon.
Who We Are
Founded by a longtime software engineer and father with two decades of experience building software, Authored Eternity started with a simple belief: one person can change the world, but not alone. We're building a community of people who share this vision.
This is just the beginning. We're very much looking forward to adding more voices, more donors, and more visionaries to help shape the future of scientific discovery.
