I'm living proof of this notion.

I conceived the tech stack for XR/metaverse at age 37.

Being a melenated person(not a POC), above the desired age of a startup founder & not from an ivy league college, is a triple whammy when seeking investment, hints why I have received zero funding to date, not even a grant, & everything that points to my inventorship has been either stolen, misappropriated or erased from the web, save for the grace of archived webpages & a single 3 sentence paragraph on a one pager on a live website, when I first publicly demoed the hardware stack in Delaware, back in 2015.

Even the US government had a hand in violating my constitutional rights to protect my IP, having illegally seized all documents of proof of reduction to practice, at the detriment of my own life, hints forth why I champion the blockchain route(web3).

But I'm still here, in spite of, because I know my work is important to "the advancement of humanity".

& maybe, just maybe, one day I will be vindicated & receive all that is due to me for my efforts in changing the entire tech business landscape, & the world.

Til then, I'll be here, still working my ars off, with zero compensation like I always have.

After all that, for me this isn't business, it's personal.
