As a Program Performance Financial Governance Analyst, you will work with the Data Analytics Circle to proactively uncover risks, inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and blind spots across the DeepFunding program, including issues we may not even be aware of yet. This is not a “run these reports” role. It is a self-steering, investigative role for someone who naturally questions assumptions, follows evidence to root causes, and turns findings into clear improvement actions.
A key trait for this role is independent judgment: Are you the kind of person who uncovers the uncomfortable truths in a program and is not afraid to point out weaknesses, clearly, respectfully, and with evidence, to staff, peers, and the community? You will publish short, community-facing updates when findings are validated, so the ecosystem learns and improves with transparency.

2025 was a pivotal year in many ways: DEEP Funding became its own entity, we launched new branding and a multi-site web presence – check out the product switcher in the top left corner to discover all our new sites.

We ran our first ‘Partner Round’ funded by BGI-Nexus. We awarded 26 RFPs, many focused on complex AGI related topics. We kicked off our first Ideation challenges, launched DEEP Lab, revamped our profile section and launched this new ‘Explore feed’ that brings together updates from DEEP staff and the Community. Wow. What a year it was!

Looking ahead to 2026, we see momentum building up around the ASI tech stack. ASI:Chain and OpenCog Hyperon are showing impressive progress, and you\'ll be hearing a lot more about this in the coming months and quarters. DEEP will be working closely with SingularityNET and ASI Alliance to build out a developer community — through coding sessions, hackathons, deep dives, Lab projects, and more. If you want to be on the forefront of this technology and position yourself in our ASI ecosystem, now\'s a good time to start and get ahead of the masses. Stay tuned!

The energy, the teamwork, and the “let’s figure this out together” spirit is unmatched.
This moment was captured during one of the stages of the Nigerian National Hackathon. Young innovators came ready to learn, collaborate, and solve real challenges. The passion in the room spoke for itself.

This is a video I recorded a week ago, targeted at our circle members. I am sharing some thoughts on a strategic direction of DEEP, that potentially ties many of our existing and burgeoning initaitives together. I figured it may be interesting to a wider community. So, if you are curious and are willing to overlook the fact that I am mainly addressing our circle members, please check it out: https://youtu.be/rKgfqG5M5FM
Looking forward to your feedback!

Imagine a world where your brain data is truly yours.
Not owned by corporations.
Not extracted without fair value.
But securely owned, consciously shared, and ethically monetized by you while actively accelerating scientific discovery in mental health and neuroscience.
This is the future we envision:
A decentralized, user-owned EEG data ecosystem, powered by blockchain and AI, coming to life as thousands of people actively participate and contribute.
 
A World of User-Owned EEG Data
In the future we see, every individual:
Owns their neural data as a personal digital asset
Decides who can access it
Tracks how it’s used
And receives direct compensation when it contributes to research or clinical applications
Consent is programmable.
Ownership is verifiable.
Trust is built into the system itself.
 
A Living, Global Brain Data Network
As this vision reaches full scale—with thousands of active users around the world—a new research paradigm emerges:
Continuous, real-world EEG data from diverse populations
AI-driven quality analysis and standardization
Secure on-chain verification of data origin and consent
A dynamic marketplace where research requests meet willing contributors
This transforms isolated datasets into a living global neural network for science.
 
With sustained participation at scale, this ecosystem enables:
Large, ethically sourced datasets accelerate:
Depression and anxiety research
Neurodevelopmental studies such as ADHD and autism
Neurodegenerative disease modeling
Stress, sleep, and cognitive performance research
This is not a short-term product idea.
It is a long-term infrastructure shift for neuroscience and mental health.
And it becomes real through participation, trust, and scale.
