FAQ

WHAT IF I WANT TO CREATE A COMMERCIAL PROJECT ON MY OWN?

Please do.

WHAT IF A TEAM OF US MEET AT BIG BLUE SKY AND WANT TO CREATE A PROJECT TOGETHER?
Wonderful. You may or may not choose to have some level of support ongoing with Big Blue Sky in what ever
capacity we are able to provide it. Each project will have its nuances and requirements, so we will approach
them all with a clean slate, sharing platforms and resources when possible. Big Blue Sky holds citizen led project
outcomes as our objective, either under the stewardship of Big Blue Sky or not.

WHAT IF MY PROJECT IS A SOCIAL VENTURE, AND NOT COMMERCIAL?

We love this, and will do all we can to support the projects viability.

WHAT IF I WANT TO WORK ON A PROJECT THAT ONLY COMES TO MIND SOME WEEKS AFTER INTEGRATING
THE EXPERIENCE OF BIG BLUE SKY?
We will support you as much as we are able to get this off the ground.

WHAT IF I WANT TO WORK ON SEVERAL MOONSHOTS ON SATURDAY?

You are free to roam between the Moonshots. Please consider how you can add value and be generative as you
do roam. Be mindful of possible missed context that may have been established prior to your arrival and do your
best to catch up through listening.
