Our mission is to help solve humanity's hardest problems by creating a world where research is openly accessible and massively collaborative.

Topics on our site are organized into a tree, so for example the P versus NP topic is a child of the Computational Complexity topic, which is a child of the Computer Science topic. Even specific attacks on P versus NP, such as by Vinay Deolalikar can have their own page under the P versus NP page.

We aim to fulfill Timothy Gowers' ultimate vision of the Polymath Projects. We recently became the official host of the Polymath Wiki [1]. I have been in correspondence with Terence Tao, who has an account on the main site (under the username teorth) and has been giving us design feedback.

We are currently a small team of 3, and are looking for people who can help in any way! If you're interested in the project, please join our development process at Discord [2] or email me at [email protected]

AsOne is a website where anyone can contribute to research discussions.

The website is organized like Reddit, with each "subreddit" being a research topic. Topics include famous unsolved math problems (Millennium Problems), AI safety research, ways to prevent climate change, and user-created topics. The goal of the website is to solve humanity's hardest problems by bringing together humanity's brightest minds, as one.

We plan to eventually integrate a crowdfunding platform which will allow anyone to sponsor research that interests them via recurring donations, like Patreon. These contributions go toward a per-topic pool which is distributed among the topic’s verified researchers on a monthly basis; the amount received by a researcher is based on how much time they commit to actively researching the topic and helping its community.

I am applying for the Summer 2020 batch of YC, and this is my current description for the "What is your company going to make?" question. I would love to hear any feedback about my pitch or the startup itself.
