Our sixth episode features Santiago Siri, founder of Democracy Earth who spoke with us about his first experiences with computers, his political career with the Net Party in Argentina, what drove him to experimental technologies and how we can shape digital identities to create democracies online.
Santiago Siri was born in Buenos Aires. He started his career in the Argentinian gaming industry. He created a game called Football Deluxe. He claims was his experience ‘taught him everything there is about business’.
Then he went on to create Popego Inc., a firm doing big data based on social media. In 2012 Santi became the founder of Partido de la Red (The Net Party) in Argentina, a political movement to promote citizen engagement through the use of open source software.
Two years later, Santi founded the Democracy Earth Foundation, a non-profit which develops governance infrastructures for crypto networks. He is author of the book Hacktivism.
