Q&A with David Siegel of The Giordano Bruno Institute

Founder

Principal Series:

The Giordano Bruno Institute is a new nonprofit that will build a platform for our digital lives. Founded by David Siegel, the GBI will provide an advertising-free platform with your personal data at its center. You own it. You control it. You never sell your data or see ads. This is a completely different paradigm than today’s “extractive” apps and web sites.

The Data Trap

Did you see The Social Dilemma? Are you concerned about our use of technology and how other companies use your data? Are you concerned about your children and the amount of time they spend on platforms like Facebook and Instagram?

You are invited to a private Family Office Insights webinar to meet David Siegel of The Giordano Bruno Institute

This is a completely different paradigm than today’s “extractive” apps and web sites. If you’re concerned about the time your kids spend on these platforms, if you’re ready to move away from Facebook, Twitter, Google, and other companies that monetize your behavior, please listen to David’s vision of a digital world that puts you first.

David is looking for donors to help start his new nonprofit institute.

David Siegel of The Giordano Bruno Institute

Founder

David Siegel is a serial entrepreneur from Silicon Valley who has started more than a dozen companies and was once a candidate to be the dean of Stanford business school. He has written five books, including his 2010 book, Pull, in which he described a smarter way to use data and the “personal data locker” to give everyone freedom from the data trap. In 2017, he raised $21 million to build this solution as a blockchain-based nonprofit called The Pillar Project. The project is doing well, the app is in the app store, but the team wanted to stick with blockchain finance and not personal data. He is now raising money to do it again – this time as a US-based nonprofit.
