How the Valley treats experienced people

I regret my reply that sounds a lot like I'm some sort of secret donor. Instead, I work with diverse political projects. They have in common that they don't use money transactions in specific situations where others would. It's interesting to see what happens when money as motivator is removed.

Sometimes I'm a technician, sometimes I help organize, sometimes I'm the legal front. And some projects I do fund, but not to a degree that anybody's livelihood depended on me.

And I am sorry if it sounded like I am fishing for sponsorship. Not at all!

I am simply very much interested in the dynamics of the process. I would like to know how do people get together to discuss such things in the first place, for example.

Apologies if I projected the wrong message before.

Haha no worries you didn't project that. At least not to me. I just tought my response came across as if I was a big benefactor.

As for how I found the projects to engage in: I got asked for tech help, went to a meeting, and found people that had unusual takes on reality. I went with those who were doing stuff, as opposed to those discussing how it ought to be. I don't have much initiative myself and prefer working with people who have that drive.
