- ## Angel Round
-
- We make The Scroll, a non-toxic, intelligent, trustworthy successor to The Web that works offline.
- https://wws.scroll.pub/ The Scroll
-
- How is it different than the web? Git instead of HTTP. Scroll instead of HTML. `root.scroll` instead of DNS.
- https://scroll.pub Scroll
-
- For consumers, The Scroll provides all the benefits of the Web but an order of magnitude better and faster.
-
- For businesses, The Scroll eliminates unneeded complexity and streamlines their customer service, operations and marketing.
-
- The Scroll is made possible by breakthroughs in computer science and mathematics that we invented including the PPS stack (Particles, Parsers, and Scroll) and the equations $E=T/A!$, $I=C/S$ and $P = {T^{C^R}}^I$.
- https://scroll.pub/blog/teddyTalk.html PPS
- class aqua PPS
-
- katex
-
- Via The Scroll, we will make a world where every child, no matter where they are born, will get their own copy of humanity's most intelligent information.
-
- Imagine a pristine copy of civilization's knowledge in your pocket. That is the world we are building. And it will be sooner than you think (by 2030).
-
- Our customers buy root names on The Scroll, the same as they buy domain names for the web. We charge $100 for a 10 year root folder registration. We are already selling root names and the first customer folders launch shortly.
- In addition to root names, we also will create additional significant value add products on top of The Scroll, such as The Scroll for Spaces.
- https://wws.scroll.pub/spaces.html The Scroll for Spaces
-
- Viewership to our products is in the thousands a day, and increasing at approximately 10% week over week.
-
- We are deeply committed to our mission of liberating information, by not only building the world's best information products, but also by lobbying for legal changes to end copyrights and patents worldwide. We value craftsmanship, truth, courage, laughter, intelligence, science and love.
-
- Our founder is Breck Yunits (Our World in Data, University of Hawai'i Cancer Center, Microsoft, Mozilla, YCombinator, HP, Visa, PayPal, Duke, Boston College HS, Brockton public schools; angel investor in over 70 startups). Breck owns 51%, the early team owns ~5%, and the rest is reserved for essential teammates, advisors, and investors.
-
- We are raising $50,000 at a $934,000 pre-money ($984,000 post money) valuation.
- inlineMarkupsOn none
-
- As someone with 20 years of experience in the software and angel investing world, I am confident that this has the potential to be one of the greatest angel investments of all time and I am excited to share this opportunity with you.

-
- ? Have you considered putting together a traditional deck?
- Yes. And we will, probably by the $500K round.
-
- ? What's the revenue model?
- Currently the main source of revenue is selling Scroll names, which are similar to domain names, which we currently charge $100 for a 10 year registration. Currently margins are >90%, but we expect ~50% margins once we expand our sales and customer support efforts.
-
- We have other revenue experiments and are creating so much value for people that we have many additional revenue paths to test.
-
- ? What is GTM?
- We already have a few hits (like PLDB) on the World Wide Scroll that get thousands of visitors a week, are very popular with influencers, and are growing at a healthy week over week rate.
- In addition, we are putting an enormous effort into one on one sales to bring great builders to The Scroll.
- We expect many breakout hits that will continue to draw not only new readers of The Scroll but new builders. The network effects are substantial.
-
- ? What are the storage requirements?
- In 5 years our biggest power users may follow ~1,000 folders at 100MB each using 100GB on their disk, which currently fits on a $6 SD card.
-
- ? Why is this better than the current web?
- - Works offline. No matter where you are, what happens in geopolitics or with AGI, you have your own copy of humanity's best information.
- - 10x faster. Files served from disk, not from online.
- - More intelligent. A new language from the ground up that replaces HTML with semantics built in.
- - 10x easier to build. 10x fewer works to right than other web languages.
- - Non-toxic. No ads, no copyright. Remix anything.
- - More secure. Novel design patterns allow for >10x improvement in security while eliminating user experience hindrances.
-
- ? Why does the web need to work offline?
- Same reasons why Solar Power and Starlink are going through the roof: off-grid, decentralization is better.
-
- A web that works offline is:
- - Resilient. No matter what happens in the world (hurricanes, storms, wars, etc) you have the information you need.
- - 10x faster for day to day uses (reading whole sites from disk instead of one page at a time over Internet)
- - Censorship resistant
- - More intelligent (this data is so clean and smart AIs can train off it locally on your own machine)
-
- ? It isn't totally clear to me how it works (but I'm not technical)?
- To transfer data the web relies on HTTP (the "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol" created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989). The Scroll uses git ("global information tracker" created by Linus Torvalds in 2005). Entire sites with their change history are downloaded using git under the hood.
-
- To display content the web relies on HTML (TBL, 1991), CSS (Hakon Lie, 1996), and Javascript (Brendan Eich, 1995). The Scroll compiles and supports all of those as well, but also uses a new language stack called PPS (Particles, Parsers, and Scroll), that we created. Our language is far more intelligent (~10x more coverage per bits), semantically typed, and yet is even easier to use than those older langs.
-
- ? Why the dramatic language in the memo? (eg "Via The Scroll, we will make a world where every child, no matter where they are born, will get their own copy of humanity's most intelligent information.").
- I grew up in Brockton, a poor, but wonderful, city in Massachusetts. The people of Brockton are some of the most honest, hard working, wonderful people in the world, but for some reason have unequal opportunities compared to surrounding towns. I took it upon myself to figure out the root cause and it eventually became clear to me that it was copyrights and patents, which suck funds and time from people in places like Brockton and divert to non-innovating lawyers and capital holders in places like Atherton and Madrona. There's nothing wrong with capitalism or making money, but copyrights and patents are the opposite of capitalism: they are anti-property rights, and are a dishonest way to earn a living.
-
- I've strived to become the greatest programmer in the world to not just build The Scroll, but to make an emphatic point that you don't need copyrights and patents to invent, and in fact using those things poisons your inventions and slows you down.
-
- I envision a world where every human has equal opportunity, and there are not information laws that go against the grain of nature that harm everyone to benefit the few.
-
- Money is fun, and I love a good stay at a luxury hotel, but what gets me out of bed in the morning is my love for the people around me growing up, and now that I'm a father my wish that all children get access to the same opportunities that my own daughters have.
-
- ? The round size stood out as very small ($50k). For a project like this, I'd imagine you'd need more than $50k, so why not try to raise $200-300k or more to get the company off the ground (at a higher valuation)?
- inlineMarkupsOn none
-
- I've put ~$1M of my own money into this, and will put much more.
-
- As soon as this round closes, I intent to raise $500K at a $9.34M valuation. Then I would not be suprised to do a $5M round a few months after that, and a $50M IPO in the following year. My goal is to ensure we have the capital we need to accomplish our mission and to do it with the help of as many capital partners (no matter whether they are in for $100 or $1M) as possible.
- inlineMarkupsOn none
-
- This round is about finding and rewarding intelligent and courageous angel investors who understand they are buying a vision in my mind that we are bringing into the world, not something that already exists.
-
- I want every round of capital I raise to be a complete no-brainer to the best investors.

+ ? Why does the web need to work offline?
+ Same reasons why Solar Power and Starlink are going through the roof: off-grid, decentralization is better.
+
+ A web that works offline is:
+ - Resilient. No matter what happens in the world (hurricanes, storms, wars, etc) you have the information you need.
+ - 10x faster for day to day uses (reading whole sites from disk instead of one page at a time over Internet)
+ - Censorship resistant
+ - More intelligent (this data is so clean and smart AIs can train off it locally on your own machine)
+
+ ? It isn't totally clear to me how it works (but I'm not technical)?
+ To transfer data the web relies on HTTP (the "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol" created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989). The Scroll uses git ("global information tracker" created by Linus Torvalds in 2005). Entire sites with their change history are downloaded using git under the hood.
+
+ To display content the web relies on HTML (TBL, 1991), CSS (Hakon Lie, 1996), and Javascript (Brendan Eich, 1995). The Scroll compiles and supports all of those as well, but also uses a new language stack called PPS (Particles, Parsers, and Scroll), that we created. Our language is far more intelligent (~10x more coverage per bits), semantically typed, and yet is even easier to use than those older langs.
+
+ ? Why the dramatic language in the memo? (eg "Via The Scroll, we will make a world where every child, no matter where they are born, will get their own copy of humanity's most intelligent information.").
+ I grew up in Brockton, a poor, but wonderful, city in Massachusetts. The people of Brockton are some of the most honest, hard working, wonderful people in the world, but for some reason have unequal opportunities compared to surrounding towns. I took it upon myself to figure out the root cause and it eventually became clear to me that it was copyrights and patents, which suck funds and time from people in places like Brockton and divert to non-innovating lawyers and capital holders in places like Atherton and Madrona. There's nothing wrong with capitalism or making money, but copyrights and patents are the opposite of capitalism: they are anti-property rights, and are a dishonest way to earn a living.
+
+ I've strived to become the greatest programmer in the world to not just build The Scroll, but to make an emphatic point that you don't need copyrights and patents to invent, and in fact using those things poisons your inventions and slows you down.
+
+ I envision a world where every human has equal opportunity, and there are not information laws that go against the grain of nature that harm everyone to benefit the few.
+
+ Money is fun, and I love a good stay at a luxury hotel, but what gets me out of bed in the morning is my love for the people around me growing up, and now that I'm a father my wish that all children get access to the same opportunities that my own daughters have.
+
+ ? The round size stood out as very small ($50k). For a project like this, I'd imagine you'd need more than $50k, so why not try to raise $200-300k or more to get the company off the ground (at a higher valuation)?
+ inlineMarkupsOn none
+
+ I've put ~$1M of my own money into this, and will put much more.
+
+ As soon as this round closes, I intent to raise $500K at a $9.34M valuation.
+ inlineMarkupsOn none
+
+ This round is about finding and rewarding intelligent and courageous angel investors who understand they are buying a vision in my mind that we are bringing into the world, not something that already exists.
+
+ I want every round of capital I raise to be a complete no-brainer to the best investors.

+ # Q & A
+
+ Email any questions to breck7@gmail.com or text to 1-415-937-1984
+
+ ? Why is this better than the current web?
+
+ - Works offline. No matter what happens in geopolitics or with AGI, you have your own copy of humanity's best information.
+ - 10x faster. Files served from disk, not from online.
+ - More intelligent. A new language from the ground up that replaces HTML with semantics built in.
+ - 10x easier to build. 10x fewer works to right than other web languages.
+ - Non-toxic. No ads, no copyright. Remix anything.
+
+ ? What is GTM?
+ We already have a few smash hits (like PLDB) on the World Wide Scroll that get thousands of visitors a week, are very popular with influencers, and are growing at a healthy week over week rate.
+ In addition, we are putting an enormous effort into one on one sales to bring great builders to The Scroll.

Announcing Real-Time Research
-
-
Research is all fun and games for us researchers. But for our neighbors, friends, and families, sometimes it's a matter of life and death. And every day counts.
-
-
That's why today we announce the launch of real-time research.
Sources say this hacker, seen here potentially escaping to Venice via Gondola, wrote the code that allowed anyone to download a copy of all the company's source code.
-
-
The company is currently investigating reports that the hackers were complaining about long download times. Updates will be posted here.
We found a path. A path to a new world, radically different and more advanced.
-
-
We are looking for fellow adventurers to help us lead civilization there.
-
-
In this new world computer languages are far faster, more advanced, yet simpler and more human. In this new world every child has access to humanity's best information. And in this new world the Freedom to Publish is guaranteed by an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
-
-
To convince the world this is where we want to be, we are building revolutionary products from this future world here in the present. Our products are different in 3 ways:
-
-
They use new spatial languages.
-
They are public domain.
-
They employ novel business models.
-
-
This will be a long journey. It is not clear whether it will take four years or fourteen. Along the way we will require the efforts of a brilliant and courageous team. We will require innovative leaders across engineering, finance, sales, marketing, legal, governmental, and more.
-
-
Our first major products are PLDB.com and CancerDB.com, but we will launch others along the way, and continually innovate to generate not only better products but better business models.
-
-
We do not expect an easy fight, and we expect our competition to come at us from every angle. But we will not cower, and we will not stop building.
-
-
We are looking for the bold. Those with a bias for action. To be considered, send us a term sheet, a wire, or tweet about us publicly.
-
-
Thank you for your time. #BuildPublicDomain

Details of the current markets, products and business models
-
Revenue model
-
Our primary revenue product will be CancerDB.com and the model is something never done before. Launch is soon.
-
-
Market size opportunity
-
The National Cancer Institute estimates over $200 Billion is spent on Cancer care in the USA each year. The results are poor. We will lower the death rate from cancer in the USA 50% by 2027. We believe we could generate $1 Billion in revenue to do that.
-
-
Marketing/sales strategy
-
We are already selling. Our model and go to market strategy will be visible post launch.
About 40 people have actively worked with us for a month or more, between regular volunteers and paid contributors. About ~7 of these people have urgently needed skillsets to bring on full time.
This is going to be hard. We need allies and a war chest.
-
-
As an investor how will I get my money back?
-
We plan to direct list on OTCQB in 2023. The founder will be subject to a 4-year lockup and initial investors will be subject to a 2 year lockup. Once our main objectives are achieved, the founder plans to retire to run his lifestyle business, FunnyTombstones.com, and at that point the shareholders and employees can decide to monetize the company as they see fit, selling cigarettes or dolphin meat for all he cares. It is hoped that Public Domain Publishing Inc. survives long enough to see itself become the villain.
-
-
Will there be another fundraising round before the Direct Listing?
-
No.
-
-
Why not?
-
Our priority is to give retail investors access to a risky bet with a lot of upside.
-
-
Who has provided funding to date?
-
Breck Yunits has invested approximately $500,000-$1,000,000 into Public Domain Publishing Inc. R&D from February 2021 to present.
-
-
How much money is being raised?
-
Between $1.2M and $12M, depending on demand and price.
-
-
What happens if this fundraise isn't successful?
-
Then Breck funds it himself indefinitely.
-
-
What is the company culture like?
-
Different. Optimized to be the fastest software company on earth. No NDAs. No IP (Imaginary Property) agreements. No company email addresses. No meetings. Team members are paid in crypto. Our commitment to every member on the team is to provide the ambitious (IC track) an 1) environment where they can do their best work and develop their skills to become so good the world cannot ignore them or (managerial track) 2) zen like environment where they can do great work around their own schedules.
-
-
What if the primary business model doesn't work out?
-
We have various other products experiencing product-market fit and will figure out business model(s) that work. We will not be stopped and we will not give up.
-
-
What is the company's view on risk?
-
We will continue to bet the entire company over and over again on the next big order-of-magnitude risk until our objectives are accomplished. If you do the math, this means we will eventually be a company measured in billions or go bust. A sensible hedging strategy for our investors might be to sell ~10% of holdings every time we achieve a ~10x increase in size.

December 18, 2022 — A company is just a name, some bank accounts and legal documents, maybe a ticker symbol, and some rows in some databases. None of those things are important to me.
-
-
-
-
What is important to me is our mission. Our mission is to help build a world where every child has access to the whole truth.
-
-
People are starving for the whole truth. Everywhere they are being locked down, brainwashed with ads, injected with lies. They see the symptoms. They know something is wrong. They want to know the cause.
-
-
The cause is Information (C)ancer, otherwise known as (C)opyright. It has metastasized and spread to all our information organs: books, newspapers, music, radio, television, scientific journals, the web. (C)opywrong laws restrict the truth from spreading, and give a competitive advantage to liars.
-
-
We must disrupt that. This is the war of our times—the war to liberate ideas, to mine, unlock, and share truth, to eradicate Information (C)ancer.
-
-
We are only here because of the heroes who have been fighting this war for decades. The builders behind public domain creations like the World Wide Web. Their mission mission is our mission. Together let's build a world where every child has access to the whole truth.
And his relentless spirit flows strong at Public Domain Publishing.

Everyone here is great at a least one thing—that's why you are here. You are expected to excel at that one thing, but also to continue to grow your own abilities so you can help the team with more tasks as needed. You are also expected to always be thinking of how you can make yourself dispensable - by mentoring, recruiting, automating, et cetera. Your job in addition to shipping your tasks is to make sure we can succeed in our mission without you.

+ Public Domain Publishing Inc. Presentation to AdVenture Capitalists
We found a path. A path to a new world, radically different and more advanced.
+
+
We are looking for fellow adventurers to help us lead civilization there.
+
+
In this new world computer languages are far faster, more advanced, yet simpler and more human. In this new world every child has access to humanity's best information. And in this new world the Freedom to Publish is guaranteed by an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
+
+
To convince the world this is where we want to be, we are building revolutionary products from this future world here in the present. Our products are different in 3 ways:
+
+
They use new spatial languages.
+
They are public domain.
+
They employ novel business models.
+
+
This will be a long journey. It is not clear whether it will take four years or fourteen. Along the way we will require the efforts of a brilliant and courageous team. We will require innovative leaders across engineering, finance, sales, marketing, legal, governmental, and more.
+
+
Our first major products are PLDB.com and CancerDB.com, but we will launch others along the way, and continually innovate to generate not only better products but better business models.
+
+
We do not expect an easy fight, and we expect our competition to come at us from every angle. But we will not cower, and we will not stop building.
+
+
We are looking for the bold. Those with a bias for action. To be considered, send us a term sheet, a wire, or tweet about us publicly.

Thank you for your time. #BuildPublicDomain

Details of the current markets, products and business models
+
+
Revenue model
+
Our primary revenue product will be CancerDB.com and the model is something never done before. Launch is soon.
+
+
Market size opportunity
+
The National Cancer Institute estimates over $200 Billion is spent on Cancer care in the USA each year. The results are poor. We will lower the death rate from cancer in the USA 50% by 2027. We believe we could generate $1 Billion in revenue to do that.
+
+
Marketing/sales strategy
+
We are already selling. Our model and go to market strategy will be visible post launch.
About 40 people have actively worked with us for a month or more, between regular volunteers and paid contributors. About ~7 of these people have urgently needed skillsets to bring on full time.
This is going to be hard. We need allies and a war chest.
+
+
As an investor how will I get my money back?
+
We plan to direct list on OTCQB in 2023. The founder will be subject to a 4-year lockup and initial investors will be subject to a 2 year lockup. Once our main objectives are achieved, the founder plans to retire to run his lifestyle business, FunnyTombstones.com, and at that point the shareholders and employees can decide to monetize the company as they see fit, selling cigarettes or dolphin meat for all he cares. It is hoped that Public Domain Publishing Inc. survives long enough to see itself become the villain.
+
+
Will there be another fundraising round before the Direct Listing?
+
No.
+
+
Why not?
+
Our priority is to give retail investors access to a risky bet with a lot of upside.
+
+
Who has provided funding to date?
+
Breck Yunits has invested approximately $500,000-$750,000 into Public Domain Publishing Inc. R&D from February 2021 to present.
+
+
How much money is being raised?
+
Between $1.2M and $12M, depending on demand and price.
+
+
What happens if this fundraise isn't successful?
+
Then Breck funds it himself indefinitely.
+
+
What is the company culture like?
+
Different. No NDAs. No IP (Imaginary Property) agreements. No company email addresses. No meetings. Team members are paid in crypto. Our commitment to every member on the team is to provide the ambitious (IC track) an 1) environment where they can do their best work and develop their skills to become so good the world cannot ignore them or 2 (managerial track) a 2) zen like environment where they can do great work around their own schedules.

- Public Domain Publishing Inc. Presentation to AdVenture Capitalists
We found a path. A path to a new world, radically different and more advanced.
-
-
We are looking for fellow adventurers to help us lead civilization there.
-
-
In this new world computer languages are far faster, more advanced, yet simpler and more human. In this new world every child has access to humanity's best information. And in this new world the Freedom to Publish is guaranteed by an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
-
-
To convince the world this is where we want to be, we are building revolutionary products from this future world here in the present. Our products are different in 3 ways:
-
-
They use new spatial languages.
-
They are public domain.
-
They employ novel business models.
-
-
This will be a long journey. It is not clear whether it will take four years or fourteen. Along the way we will require the efforts of a brilliant and courageous team. We will require innovative leaders across engineering, finance, sales, marketing, legal, governmental, and more.
-
-
Our first major products are PLDB.com and CancerDB.com, but we will launch others along the way, and continually innovate to generate not only better products but better business models.
-
-
We do not expect an easy fight, and we expect our competition to come at us from every angle. But we will not cower, and we will not stop building.
-
-
We are looking for the bold. Those with a bias for action. To be considered, send us a term sheet, a wire, or tweet about us publicly.

As an investor how will I get my money back?
-
We plan to direct list on OTCQB in 2023. In order to discourage short-term investors from participating, the founder and all investors will be subject to a multi-year lockup. After that, it is likely the company will use profits for stock buybacks, as we don't anticipate a better investment opportunity than our own company. Once our main objectives are acheived, the founder plans to retire to run his lifestyle business, FunnyTombstones.com, and at that point the shareholders and employees can decide to monetize the company as they see fit, selling cigarettes or dolphin meat for all he cares. It is hoped that Public Domain Publishing Inc. survives long enough to see itself become the villain.
-
-
What is the company culture like?
-
Different. No NDAs. No IP (Imaginary Property) agreements. No company email addresses. No meetings. Team members are paid in crypto. Our commitment to every member on the team is to provide the ambitious (IC track) an 1) environment where they can do their best work and develop their skills to become so good the world cannot ignore them or 2 (managerial track) a 2) zen like environment where they can do great work around their own schedules.

A photo of one of the papers in our archive: the January 31, 1795 edition of the Columbian Centinel, when the president of the United States was George Washington.
+
While some thought the 500 year old newspaper industry was on its last legs, the revolutionary software from Public Domain Publishing will ensure it has at least another 500 years ahead of it. Public Domain Publishing invented the most important fundamental technology in decades, which is already revolutionizing the fields of computer science and cancer research. Building on that technology, the company developed Scroll, a breakthrough new language that leaves all previous technologies used by newspapers in the dust.
