Description

SEYR is a free, science-backed app that scores any food or grocery item on its real hidden cost — environmental impact, animal harm, public health, and more — across 7 measurable metrics. It's a working prototype, built and self-funded by one longtime vegan, with a Flockwork developer and a data scientist currently helping on the technical side. We're looking for a volunteer with fundraising or monetization experience to help build a sustainable funding approach — setting goals and finding the right revenue path (e.g. crowdfunding, user donations/memberships, grants). The priority is keeping SEYR independent and mission-aligned, rather than relying on funders who might push for compromises. If a nonprofit route makes more sense, we're open to guidance on that too. Tasks: -Weekly 30–60 min strategy check-in (flexible) -Help identify and narrow down funding/monetization options -Hands-on support setting goals and building toward a sustainable revenue stream Skills requested: Fundraising knowledge, Grant writing & submissions, Monetization strategy Languages: English

Our mission

Our food choices don't stay on our plates. SEYR™ has the mission to empower every person with the science and data to see the true 2nd hand cost of every meal — to climate, public health, animal and worker welfare, communities, and the generations who inherit our choices. To make the invisible visible, the hidden undeniable, and the true cost impossible to ignore. To do for food and drinks what data transparency did for cigarettes. One ingredient at a time. Breath mints and air fresheners were built to hide the secondhand impact of smokers. Turns out what we eat and drink is 85× nastier — to our bodies and the planet. Our breakfasts have a carbon footprint and traces of Scat. Our snacks may fund wars. Chicken soup? Nope, more like Scat Stew. There's nothing built to stop the sewer brewing from the inside out — until now. SEYR™ is the first science-backed, full-body mint shower for your insides and air purifier for our outsides. Know the impact of every grocery and menu item in real-time. It's time to give a SEYR™ This is my side project, I've funded it entirely with the very little extra money I have. I do construction and renovation work. I'm interested to have SEYR sustain itself and expand, without being compromised by partnerships and non for profits. I definitely need help navigating this complicated project. Thank you for the opportunity!
