Comms and PR Lead

Comms and PR Lead $90k - $155k Who We Are. Wynd Labs is an early-stage startup that is on a mission to democratize the future of AI. Through our first product, Grass, we provide universal access to public web data, and a system where ordinary people can participate in the process - and share in the benefits. Grass is a network sharing application that allows users to share their unused bandwidth. Effectively, this is a residential proxy network that directly rewards individual residential IPs for the bandwidth they provide. Grass will route traffic equitably among its network and meter the amount of data that each node provides to fairly distribute rewards. In non-technical terms: Grass unlocks everyone's ability to earn rewards by simply sharing their unused internet bandwidth on personal devices (laptops, smartphones). This project is for those who lead with initiative and seekComm to challenge themselves and thrive on curiosity.
