<p dir="auto">Blurb by founder:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Hey, I'm Jeff, the founder of Athens Research.</p>
<p dir="auto">I started Athens after interviewing at Roam Research in March of 2020.</p>
<p dir="auto">I loved Roam. I thought it could be the most powerful technology for knowledge management ever created.</p>
<p dir="auto">But some technologies are so powerful that they must be democratized to all.</p>
<p dir="auto">Not just free, but open — open incentives, open development processes, and open-source code.</p>
<p dir="auto">I believe networked platforms like Athens will transform the way we use the internet and computers.</p>
<p dir="auto">And I believe they should be open.</p>
