>>6316716>establishing a business modelAfter the news of the Moon base has circulated the headlines, approach a mixture of companies including Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Major automotive industries and Major social platforms such as Facebook (I'm not calling it Meta Zuckershit), Twitter (you neither Elon) and potentially search engines such as Google and pals.
When meeting them, try to sell them the idea of not an investment in ownership of any part of the colony, but rather cheaper services and lowered costs on their own end.
For Nvidia Intel and AMD, it is possible to sell the potential higher grade and easier made silicon metal chips which can be made in low to zero gravity as an option for a source of chips which come from a politically neutral source, Which can be transported to anywhere on earth via atmospheric drop, and services on the moon such as large data processing for stuff like AI training in a place unable to be infiltrated due to a literal vacuum gap between any hackers & thieves trying to steal code.
For companies such as Facebook and Twitter, the large data centre that can be built within the Shackleton crater can be sold as being easily available, slow but long-term storage. Information about user data and the large (and increasing) number of inactive accounts, which are from bots or people who have died. It can all be kept away from Earth, being checked only when necessary, maybe once every few years. Massive backup data blocks could also be kept, allowing for rollbacks of large earthside stacks if chosen to do so. And all of this costs pennies in comparison to the cost of earthside operations.
Google could make use of many of the same forms of services, with much of its massive data storage being costly to constantly upkeep planet-side, both in electricity costs as well as in repairs.
For automotive manufacturers, the large quantities of Titanium in lunar regolith could allow for effective production of titanium skeleton cars, ones that would weigh less than steel ones, allowing for greater fuel/electricity efficiency. As well as a source of rare metals used in advanced manufacturing, which is independent of China, and which would likely be generally low-cost as well.
Essentially, the sale would be "invest in the colony, the money that is invested would proportionally allow investors to lessen costs and increase revenue through simplified supply chains and effective downcutting of maintenance assets. even small investments now could mean deals which could cut your costs by half in a few decades"
This is just for on earth funding. I will be going to bed now, but tomorrow i will mention potential revenue avenues in space.
