During a tech entrepreneurs’ pop-up village called Zuzalu, Noah Chon Lee launched a crowdfunded prize to build an open-source AI voice for a river and various people tossed in $20 each.

This prize incentivized 12 contributors to begin building in an impromptu hackathon. Five days later the first AI voice (https://airiverchat.com/) for a nature entity in history was presented to the Prime Minister of Montenegro.

Next, Noah watched a kamikaze drone driving towards him get shot down while driving into the frontlines of Ukraine to complete a crowdfunded prize for delivering medical supplies. The volunteer medics receiving the supplies used them to treat 45 injured and saved multiple lives.
