Give & Grow Initiative

CONTRIBUTE
YOUR GENIUS

Cioré is built by people who believe in something worth building. We have two paths for those who want to be part of it: Contributors — volunteers who give time, skill, and intention to help build the company from the ground up — and Collaborators — aligned individuals, organizations, or brands who want to partner, co-create, or explore what building together could look like.

About the Initiative

The Give & Grow Initiative

The Give & Grow Initiative is Cioré's contributor program — a structured, intentional way to bring talented, mission-aligned people into the build. All contributor roles are unpaid volunteer opportunities. In exchange, contributors gain real project experience, contribution documentation where appropriate, and direct access to the founder and core team. This is not a gig. It is a founding chapter.

Why Contribute

What You Gain

Real-World Experience
Work on an actual product in active development. What you build here is real and goes in your portfolio.
Mission-Driven Work
Build technology that prioritizes people, privacy, and the planet — not profit at any cost.
Room to Grow
Contributors who show up with consistency and care are remembered when the company grows into paid roles.
Documentation & Verification
Your contribution is tracked and documented. We can verify and speak to the work you put in.
Intentional Community
Join a network of builders, creatives, and technologists who are actually working toward something meaningful.
Direct Founder Connection
You will meet and work alongside the founder. No layers. No gatekeeping. Direct access from day one.

Collaboration

Aligned Partnerships & Co-Creation

We're open to meaningful collaborations with people and organizations who share our values. Not sponsors. Not vendors. Partners — those who see the mission and want to be part of building something that actually matters.

Cioré is a privacy-first, solar-assisted, modular smartphone company built for people who want more — more control, more durability, more intentionality in the technology they carry.

We are early-stage and building with purpose. If you see alignment — in a creative collaboration, a strategic connection, a shared cause, or a shared audience — we want to hear from you. What we build together should serve the mission, not dilute it.
