James is a co-founder of Toucan protocol (toucan.earth), also previously and Giveth - and has spent a lot of time working in impact measurement and verification, with a focus on carbon markets. Sophia is the former tech PM for PGN and a contributor for many public goods projects through Hypercerts, FTC, Gitcoin, Farcaster and Celo. She is a product designer and engineer who deeply understands the public goods funding landscape.

As a part of this project, we are collaborating with the WERK project by Bit Beckers from Hypercerts, and Carl Barrdahl from the Gitcoin research pod around creating an underlying project entity that help connect Allo protocol to Hypercerts and allow reputation to flow cross chain.
