RampRate is pioneering a new category of investment - an asset-backed impact token (ABIT). In the ABIT model, philanthropically oriented individuals, family offices, and companies donate multi-million dollar assets to be tokenized and sold as asset-backed tokens (ABTs). But rather than capturing profit for themselves, a DAO of token holders and in-kind contributors allocate the proceeds to impact projects that align with the Impact DNA of the donor and the type of asset being tokenized.
For example, proceeds tokenizing a valuable fossil collection may be directed towards further advances in paleontology (to discover more about our past) and conservation (so the world we know isn’t relegated to fossils). Proceeds from an art collection about humanity’s impact on the world’s oceans can be directed towards ocean cleanup. And so on.
We have a solid pipeline of impact projects, investors, and technology partners. We’re looking for someone experienced in launching and listing tokens to help us put it all together and get us through the last mile of launching 3-5 flagship projects to demonstrate the ABIT model’s potential. This project gig would lead to a full-time role when the project is successful.
For over two decades, RampRate has helped companies innovate, grow, and create impact. We’ve advised Fortune 500 CTOs on technology roadmaps and helped them reduce vendor bills by hundreds of millions to fund those ambitions. We’ve helped startups launch and mature enough to become suppliers into those enterprise environments. We’ve contributed to the inception of multi-billion dollar industries - co-location, CDN, mobile video, blockchain, psychedelic medicine - and disruption of existing ones.
About 5 years ago, we pledged to put impact first in all our work. From helping accelerate impact-focused startups to working with NGOs like XPRIZE to get grants for their ambitious technology vision, to becoming one of a handful of B-Corp certified companies in existence, impact is our guiding star in all we do. We believe in profit through purpose - that leaders of tomorrow will emerge not through what they grab for themselves but what they give to others.
We’re looking for a Product Manager to help us launch the ABIT product and its first 3-5 use cases. In this role, you will be the primary owner of making the ambitious vision a reality and coordinating the many parties involved. You will be someone who has intimate knowledge of the token launch process, the parties involved, the processes and pitfalls, and who we need to hire and partner with to ensure the launch is successful.
