Location: 

We are a remote team of "purpose-agents" and freelancers with members in San Francisco CA, Austin
TX, Brisbane Australia and London England.  We use purpose driven organization philosophies,
including Holacracy (www.holacracy.org).  

Compensation:

We are using the "Slicing Pie" dynamic equity model for funding (www.slicingpie.com).  

We are currently in the "Dynamic Equity Phase" of our development. 

This means compensation comes in the form of "D-Units" at a rate of 2X fair market value for work
performed.  When funding waves come through, the company buys back outstanding "D-Units".  This means
you accept risk that you will not be paid if the company fails to receive funding, but enjoy double
pay if it does.  Alternatively, D-Units can be converted into "A-Units" which are similar to equity
shares in a traditional company. A-Units entitle you to dividend-like payments for the life of the
project when it becomes profitable. 

When the Dynamic Equity Phase ends, D-Units and A-Units will no longer be available. At that time
we will return to a more traditional salary model.   

Your performance as a developer and ability to produce working demos will have a large impact on
the teams ability to procure funding! We need your help!
