INTERNSHIP FULL STACK DEVELOPMENT | FULLY REMOTE

When Greta Thunberg says that the world must finally act on climate crisis and the media must exert massive pressure on voters and politicians - why haven't we reached this status yet? What is the problem?

We need a clear information situation and one thing above all - unity. But to achieve this, there is currently no adequate system. We research and consume relevant scientific information completely asynchronously. The enlightenment processes and subsequent decision-making procedures take massive amounts of time that humanity simply no longer has. Getting everyone to the same page doesn't work because of the sheer volume of worldly organizations. We need a neutral helping hand, which connects the states of the earth and creates a clear information basis. To form this hand is our mission.

You want to save the world? Whether it's the climate crisis, pandemic or social injustice, we're developing the largest intelligent expert database in human history to accelerate solutions to global challenges. We revolutionize the knowledge transfer between research, media and end users. We start by helping journalists as well as content creators who are under immense time pressure.

With the help of our competence-based database, journalists can find reliable, citable sources in the shortest possible time and use them for their work. On the other hand, experts and researchers are offered an easy way to make their knowledge available to a broader public quickly, comprehensively and smoothly. Our goal is to bring more scientific voices into the public discourse and make them heard. We want to enable a new kind of research that ultimately promotes wise decisions for all of us.

So far, we have been funded by the Media Lab Bayern as well as the Journalism Lab of the Landesmedienanstalt für Medien NRW. From April 2022, we will be funded by the EXIST Business Start-up Grant and start off strong. Note: We are not associated with Meta (Facebook) and do rebrand at the moment.
