Hi Friedrich, Can't the board hire someone who's job would be to develop TDF's sponsoring channels ?
If we lack people/money to hire for "office" tasks, then maybe we should think about having someone to "develop" our revenues ? In terms of sponsorship I suppose since we are a foundation and not a company. Some sort of salesperson but who's job would be to find contracts with potential partners, not clients.
