The Virtual Society Foundations (the “Foundation”) purpose is to foster a new digitaleconomy focused around the Metaverse. https://www.virtualsociety.foundation/The “metaverse” is best defined as a network of meaningful worlds, objects, identitiesand experiences that build on each other and the real world in ways that createeconomic value or provide fulfilling experiences. This network will unleash innovativebusinesses offering sophisticated digital assets, creating new jobs and expandinghuman opportunity.However, all this potential remains largely unrealized due to technical, experiential, andaccessibility challenges. In addition, the absence of a functioning technological andeconomic system that allows builders and creators to support one another's work meanswe are stuck with either very open and decentralized but non-functional metaverseframeworks that major companies can’t use or popular but fundamentally closed UGCgaming platforms with limited freedom to build major businesses on top of them. A fullyrealized practical metaverse ecosystem is a network of many actors, all with their ownneeds and interests, all of whom have to be able to credibly build real businesses.Your MissionWe are seeking a highly skilled and visionary Head of Governance with an operationalbackground and a passion for the rapidly evolving Web3 space.
