Description

The problem that the Self -Enforcing Electronic Voting (SEEV) technology and proposed Spin Out company aims to address is a lack of "verifiability" in existing e-voting products in the commercial market. The proposal is to commercialize end-to-end (E2E) verifiable e-voting systems for real-world elections by the creation of a Spin Out company. E2E verifiability refers to the ability of voters to verify if their votes are cast-as-intended, recorded-as-cast, and for any interested party to publicly verify if all ballots are tallied-as-recorded, hence gaining confidence about the integrity of the whole election process.
The initial brief of the executive will be to:
• Phase 1 - Write an ambitious business plan in line with ambitions and market opportunities.
• Phase 2 - (a) Complete spin out legals (b) obtain Founder Academic approval for appointment of CEO (c) deliver CCF reporting requirements to Newcastle University
• Phase 3 - Develop a customer pipeline with a number of organisations with the potential to be become key customers
• Phase 4 - Receive Heads of Terms and/or positive intention to invest from a potential investor(s).
