Our Team

Sova – President / FOUNDER

Sova is a futurist, helping to drive disruptive projects in media production, global distribution / attribution of content, and exploring a new socio-economic model to build a sustainable future for everyone.

The idea for Karmic Project came to him from decades of working with various non-profit organizations and seeing how little recognition volunteers get for their hard work and efforts.  What started as a way to have a public CV of someone’s contributions to the community slowly evolved into a concept for a new kind of social networking site. That then led to several other program ideas dedicated to encouraging good works and direct action in community charity and donations, with a focus on transparency and accountability.

Sova works has a base of operations in Portland, Oregon, but frequently travels to Los Angeles and San Francisco.
