Agreement between the founder (Théo Bondolfi) and the Ynternet.org Foundation regarding the transfer of all rights to WikiDeal.
Founder's Past Realizations (Context for Early Supporters)
The discretionary distribution of the 10 million Rewards managed by the founder is based on the trust placed by early supporters in his capacity to deliver ambitious and difficult projects. This trust is built on a track record of past achievements, where he successfully managed complex commitments, often from a very young age, without any significant failure.
Factual examples of these past realizations include:
- Social Networks and Digital Commons: Creating a social network (cooperation.net) six years before Facebook and maintaining it for 10 years without public funding. Providing blog hosting, social networks, and similar services in the 1990s to over 10,000 NGO leaders in the francophone world and developing countries.
- Major Cultural Events: Directing the Nuit de la Photo (an international photography festival featuring world-renowned photographers) in the 1990s at the age of 21/22. Organizing 21 editions of TEDxGeneva conferences.
- Research and Social Economy: Piloting over 30 research and training programs for the Ynternet.org Foundation, APRES (the Chamber of Social and Solidarity Economy in Geneva, apres-ge.ch), and other networks. Initiating European projects such as WikiSkills and Wikinomix.
- Community and Consumer Advocacy: Co-founding and developing ecovillages and cooperative housing (ecopol.net, Coopérative Bâtir Groupé). Presiding over the Fédération Romande des Consommateurs (FRC) for 5 years. Initiating the networking of actors in the Flon district at age 19. Managing the Lasmala association (lasmala.org, which later merged with Aptes).
This history demonstrates a consistent ability to overcome challenges, sometimes taking more time than initially planned, but ultimately achieving concrete results. Early supporters who donate to WikiDeal express their recognition of this proven resilience and capacity for execution.
