## Description

The problem that the Self -Enforcing Electronic Voting \(SEEV\) technology and proposed Spin Out company aims to address is a lack of "verifiability" in existing e-voting products in the commercial market\. The proposal is to commercialize end-to-end \(E2E\) verifiable e-voting systems for real-world elections by the creation of a Spin Out company\. E2E verifiability refers to the ability of voters to verify if their votes are cast-as-intended, recorded-as-cast, and for any interested party to publicly verify if all ballots are tallied-as-recorded, hence gaining confidence about the integrity of the whole election process\. The initial brief of the executive will be to: • Phase 1 - Write an ambitious business plan in line with ambitions and market opportunities\. • Phase 2 - \(a\) Complete spin out legals \(b\) obtain Founder Academic approval for appointment of CEO \(c\) deliver CCF reporting requirements to Newcastle University • Phase 3 - Develop a customer pipeline with a number of organisations with the potential to be become key customers • Phase 4 - Receive Heads of Terms and/or positive intention to invest from a potential investor\(s\)\.
