partnership and monetization opportunities
WE HAVE THE SOLUTIONS
AND THE STORY TO SELL THEM
We spent 20 years developing the IDH’s IP so that it could be self-sustaining and monetizable for our partners.
Our only problem is that we worked too well too fast: We have been turning down significant national and international partnership opportunities for lack of infrastructure.
Which is fine, because if we do this right and level up, the IDH and its partners can run the table on technology ethics, free speech reform, and post-AI education.
