What I love: "We are enabling communities to be a productive force, instead of endless discourse".
The goal if successful would turn the mode of social media from consumption to action, from an energy sink to a source of positive change. I think you've thought a lot about this and it shows from your screenshot of the site to the whole philosophy... but here comes the constructive criticism:
It reads like the setup to a pitch more than a pitch in many ways. You write "Virts = group identity + social feed + coordination" as the synopsis, and then explain a lot of the philosophy of what Virts should be... but I don't think you explain the key aspects that would sell the pitch to investors, but also importantly to USERS. which is: what is the mechanism for coordination? for it being more than endless discourse and productive? These questions remain unanswered but I'd think they are the core of what makes Virt an important and interesting project. Otherwise it comes off as another experimental UI social media that's a mix of obsidian graph and and a social media feed and a forum, which maybe that's it, but for some reason this seems like it wouldn't be a 10-100x improvement on Reddit / Stack exchange forums or discord servers where a lot of this functionality is available and it's already being used for.
I guess showing the differentiation between these more concretely would make the pitch 10x stronger.
Also out of curiosity I'd like to know which groups you think would be ready to plug in!
I think that the goal of the project is epic and I'd love to see it materialize, but I want your iron to sharpen on the iron of my asking for clearer mechanism, systems, etc. To be fair to you, you do say that you're in the research phase, so maybe if you haven't arrived at that stage you could explain some research questions and lines and pitch that as the intermediary step also?
I also think that for the funding it would be useful to understand the time frame , ie is 10k enough for 1-3 months? maybe give a scope? bc if it's longer I think you're underselling your needs and I think the mission would deserve more funding.
