That’s interesting feedback about there not being a system level strategy communicated on the site. I’ll pass that along. Thanks for pointing that out.

It’s very much a system level strategy, but more by way of democratized technology as opposed to head on disruption. I asked the same questions when I joined.

We want to provide powerful technology to candidates that are not going to be supported by the two main parties. And we have some other qualifications, like not taking corporate money. The more that independent candidates can succeed and win, the more we normalize the electorate expecting something that isn’t just to two main parties. In a way, it’s the electorate that we are trying to empower by supporting viable alternatives to the current system.

I’m glad there is interest in what we’re doing. I think we are on track too, making increasing impacts and I am excited about our growing team.

IP Copilot | Software Engineer - Integrations (Python/Ruby) | Full-Time | Remote (US) | US Citizen | https://ipcopilot.ai

IP Copilot is an AI platform that discovers patentable innovations in real time and streamlines the patent process for enterprises, universities, and law firms. Fresh off a September 2024 seed round, our nine-person, fully-remote team (ex-researchers with 1,000+ patents and multiple enterprise launches) is hiring a back-end engineer to own integrations into our Python/Ruby API and third-party services, harden our AWS/PostgreSQL infrastructure, and ship features that automate patent workflows. You’ll collaborate with ML, design, and business teammates, meet power users, set the roadmap, and build thoroughly tested, monitored services—all while wearing the many hats that come with an early-stage startup.

House of representatives is not designed to provide proportional representation based on aggregate % vote country wide. Senate is more aligned that way and it's reflected in the numbers, in AU:

Current US senate (100 seats):

  Republicans: 53 seats (Majority Party)
  Democrats: 45 seats (Minority Party)
  Independents: 2 seats

Current AU senate (76):

  Australian Labor Party: 29
  Coalition: 27
  Australian Greens: 10
  Pauline Hanson's One Nation: 4
  Jacqui Lambie Network: 1
  Australia's Voice: 1
  United Australia Party: 1
  Independents: 3

So Greens are slightly over represented in the AU Senate based on aggregate vote if 12.2% is correct.
