Help us write Fighting Killer Hornets: How a Foundup Landed Me On Animal Planet by Michael Trout with Diana Slampyak
Diana, writer extraordinaire, and I are co-authoring this exciting memoir about my experiences on Animal Planet's special for Monster Week, Killer Hornets from Hell, about me and Japanese experts fighting giant Asian hornets there. These hornets kill you with one sting and are out of control -- and they've made their way to America. Read this exciting book once it's completed and learn more about these ominous creatures and my Foundup's goal to rid Japan of them. The episode aired on May 20, 2015. Did you happen to catch it?
Sharing FOUNDUPS VISION face2face globally - attending conferences. Walking the walk, talking the talk.
The only way to share the foundups is by meeting and establishing core partners,
Attending conferences is expensive. But the only way to reach a broader audience is to get out there. I am now doing this and the foundups fund is helping to cover expenses. On Nov 22 I sat on a bitcoin panel and in January 2015 I chair a panel on decentralized Solar America
Raising money can only be done face2face. Recently, I attended and spoke at the Alternative Funding Conference in LA Do so allowed me to make some invaluable connections and pledges for helping to fund foundups. The Foundup Fund allows me flexibility to do what needs to be done to launch foundups.

Start Working on PLAY FOUNDUPS app
Our goal is to get off Patreon and have our own website for launching foundups. The biggest challenge for developing startups is hiring and retaining coders. We want to code out our PLAY FOUNDUPS app. We have all the required specs and docs; we just need to hire developers.
Money will be used to pay a part time coder to work with me to code our an app that exists my head for launching millions of foundups® world wide. I have spent 4 years thinking and researching how this app will work and how it will help us save the planet by launching 100s of foundup® that will re-invest 80% of their net profits launching more foundups® on the app. Here is a talk on foundups® and startups.
update: 70% of FX has been coded - FX is an important part

About
Foundups are solutions launched locally, funded globally and owned collectively. Foundups unlike startups have no customers. Instead we have stakeholders. Why? Because we are all stakeholders of our one amazing planet. Unless we can transform our startup business paradigm that treats our planet as a resource to be profited from we risk everything. Foundups is a new open business model that seeks to usher in a paradigm shift that puts our planet first.
