Andy’s questions / suggestions
Off-topic idea to make Andy like me more :-)
How did Andy find out about me? LinkedIn / elsewhere?
First impressions?
Look like something that he’s interested in exploring?
List of things to talk about
Upfront - can’t pay anything until I get VC funding from somewhere, but because Block One has advertised that they have $1B VC funding for EOSIO projects, so with the right pitch, it really shouldn’t be hard to get. There’s so much growth potential to Internet5 (and all of Vision5) it’s crazy.

Started in June 2003
Summer of 2005
Spent many years trying to develop various parts of the tech on my own, then stopping because I found a better solution that was OS
Lived in Turkey for 5.5 years, then South America (Argentina, Chile, Bolivia) for 5.5 years total
Waited for Couchbase to be developed to the necessary level (2012-2017)
Started back up again with Vision5 in summer of 2017, while still in Bolivia
Back in UK in October 2017, was really ill for 3-4 months
In Feb 2018 started properly here, and changed the name to Vision5 (from Humanity Upgrade)
By the end of April had a solid plan around the concept of ‘5’
In mid May, added in blockchains and cryptocurrency, including planning to do an ICO on 24th June (15 year anniversary)
By the end of June / early July, the plan was really sold, and was now based on the Neo platform
Since then, been going through Shutterstock to find all the images (photos, vectors for logos etc), to make the whole presentation look top-notch, and refining a few parts, to work out how to present it clearly enough, but not too much for the impact to be lost in too many details
EOSIO was added into the mix literally just a few days ago (22nd Aug), and was the icing on the cake (it would have worked with Neo, but EOSIO is a ‘generation’ better in blockchain terms) - like a 4.0, compared to Bitcoin’s 1.0, Ethereum’s 2.0, Neo’s 3.0
Internet5 will be like a 5.0 for blockchains, which is appropriate for the numbering :-)
Market research into blockchains
Finish downloading images for sites and presentations
Create documents on Github for the Interblocknet
Graphic design work
Prepare whitepapers for the Interblocknet and Worldwide Block Web
Create basic version of the interblocknet.org (WWBW redirects to the Interblocknet website)
Create / update Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Medium, Discord
Updating LinkedIn profile to reflect the updated plan
Create a very basic site for Unity5 and Vision5 sites with links to some of the PDFs (but not all of them)
Try to build team of people interested in collaborating on the Interblocknet
Build the extended team
Prepare the pitches for VC investors, in particular the EOSIO VC team
Send pitch to EOSIO VC
Looks like Devsy primarily for IT, and Rubica more management / business - correct?
How many teams does he work with, and what’s the range of their sizes?
Any teams of 20-30 that might be available for 6-12 months at least?
His contacts primarily in the UK (London?), or have them all over the world?
What kind of startup / business-development / team-building skills can he provide?
Help with setting up a full-time team for me, or is it mostly out-sourced stuff?
What else does he think he could bring to the table here?
Any contacts (direct / indirect) to Richard Branson - there are parts of Vision5 that may well be of specific interest to him
Have a think about this for the next couple of weeks - get in contact with me any time if he has questions
In about 2-3 weeks at the latest (hopefully), I’ll send him the first prospectus that I’ll be preparing for some of the Vision5 stuff, in particular Vision5 overview and Internet5
After that point, he could give me feedback on it, and make suggestions for improvement to those presentations
When he thinks it’s good to show others, he can start to reach out to teams that might be interested early on, to get their thoughts
If possible, it would be great to try to build up a solid team before going to the VC’s, including some advisors from various key areas, and some devs that are interested too
Hopefully by the end of October at the latest (though I’d like to have them done for early October), I’ll have prospectuses for all the different parts of Vision5 that I want to explain to people from the beginning - so people can have a good idea of the long-term vision
We can chat on Skype for now, and at some point, perhaps once there are a few others that are potentially interested, I’ll come up to London to meet everyone
Aim to send of the written pitches / presentations to the EOSIO VC team in early November, unless we can get hold of Sir Richard Branson before then - but I’d still like to pitch to the EOSIO VC team anyway, even if RB is on board, because I’d like to work with teams that are specifically working with EOS (though there would be alternative routes to get there if RB is on board)

A good tip for investment - in case Andy’s interested
Best cryptocurrency investment around I’d say, and it’s in pre-ICO with 20% bonus right now
Built on an existing, successful business, unlike almost all other cryptocurrency ICOs, and the chip is already being used by around 1 million people with a turnover of $430m
Business - create $1T market cap for the cryptocurrency
Philanthropy - microfinance, grassroots in lots of countries
Humanity Upgrade - teach quality values to kids, cultural exchange
Unity through the looking glass - humour, sharing, caring, democracy
Interblocknet and Worldwide Block Web
Tech platform - can skim over the details quickly if he wants

OpenResty team, wrt the software
Explain that in the early stages, and that would like to put their names on as advisors for their specific technology
Friends that are programmers (one has already agreed)
Hopefully with Andy’s help, other devs to build a team that will be on board when we get funding
