ABOUTStrategy run 2: workers.vc channels, LinkedTrust work channels, 8 influence levers beyond lobbying/conferences2026-07-29urn:abra:local:golda
Strategy prompt run 2 (2026-07-29). Q: where to share workers.vc, where LinkedTrust finds work, what levers beyond lobbying/conferences. Findings: workers.vc channels = Slicing Pie ecosystem + Equity Matrix partner directories (can LIST workers.vc as an accelerator; their 2026 research 'nobody tracks contributions' is the exact hook), Fairmint community (already graduation path), Zebras Unite co-op (on Hylo), Exit to Community network (CU Boulder MEDLab), r/startups + Indie Hackers equity threads. LinkedTrust work = federal entry paths (subcontract to primes, micro-purchases under 15K, set-asides, DSBS listing, GSA later); market signal: Login.gov 163M identity-proofing award (Xcelerate+Socure), beat press biometricupdate.com. Levers beyond interacting: coalitions (highest return for under-resourced orgs - join Democracy 2025's 650-org network), standards bodies (W3C CCG/DIF - most asymmetric for LinkedClaims), model legislation (demplan model-law DB is this lever half-built), funder briefings, journalist-source/op-eds, curriculum publishing (Commons Library), BEING infrastructure (SDK adopters as distribution), procurement vehicles.
