what really is mobileTAO?!?

what really is mobileTAO?We are a movement, more than a communityWe advocate Social Technopreneurship, and use

mobile technologiesAll members to become Founders/Co-Founders of

Tech companies, or Social Technopreneurs. (Begin with the end in mind)

We engage member-partners as Founders/Co-founders

mobileTAO will remain a non-profit movementTech start-ups will be separate entities; mobileTAO

as an org will not get any share from them.
