25 years ago, a vision was born. I promised myself after having my power shut off for non-payment that I would find a way to take the power back from the power companies. I imagined a device that would tell you—in real-time—exactly how much you owe anytime, day or night, in the actual dollar amount and not kWh.
For almost three decades, I obsessed over this. I waited for the technology to catch up to my dream. That time is now.
I'm developing a new app.
The app is called METORA-FYE.
Here are some of the features this app will have:
What is METORA-FYE?
METORA-FYE (from kWh to dollar amount) is the world’s first AI-powered app that turns your smartphone into an electric meter reader. We are moving beyond the era of "waiting for the bill."
With the METORA-FYE App, you simply point your smartphone at your electric meter. Our Red Laser AI scans the numbers and instantly converts them into a live dollar amount.
Track the Watts: Know exactly what you owe, down to the penny, every single day, anytime of the day.
The app also allows you to track your savings over time. You can then donate your savings to a struggling family. Not only could you donate your savings through our non-profit (501(c)(3)), but you can also donate any amount. Users will also be able to start a fundraiser for themselves or for others.
The app also has a community message board to quickly report and track outages. Users will also have direct messaging capabilities. Tracking your daily electricity usage by knowing the dollar amount owed day or night will be a powerful behavior changer. Every time you scan your meter, you will be incentivized to conserve energy. METORA-FYE is a game changer.
Why am I here on GoFundMe?
I need you!
I have spent 25 years refining the logic, the branding, and the proof of concept. Now, I need the capital to hire the developers required to finalize this app and maintain the safety of its users.
This donation is to get us to launch.
Your donation funds:
$1,000: User internet security.
$1,500: The community message board development, maintenance, and security.
$500: Legal and 501(c)(3) setup for the Spark Fund.
$4,000 for software, bandwidth, and site maintenance.
Join the Community
By donating, you aren't just funding an app; you are joining a rebellion against deceptive billing. Let's face it, electric companies installed smart meters on all of our houses. They could at any point program the meters to read out in the amount owed. They don't because they know out of sight, out of mind.
Come with me, join the revolution.
The grid is live. The tech is ready. Help me turn a 25-year dream into a lifeline for millions.
