The Eliza Foundation is a Cayman Islands foundation company. It operates to establish, support and grow the Eliza framework.

The Foundation is an important component in a dynamic, evolving, and ever-growing network of partners, driving towards a mission of having Eliza tech as a fundamental pillar in an open-sourced AGI future.

Eliza Foundation will support the goals through a range of target initiatives to support this mission, more of which we will share over the coming days and weeks.

The Eliza Foundation was funded by a large amount of “$ai16z” tokens; thanks to the generosity of the early adopters of the token and the Eliza tech.

This represents a sizable treasury holding for Eliza Foundation and is a huge endorsement of the mission and goals of numerous contributors. This treasury allows the foundation to operate independently and to place its focus on its mission - to support and accelerate the growth of the Eliza framework.

Today’s announcement with Stanford University’s Future Digital Currency Initiative is a fundamental step in the wider mission to bring more adoption of Eliza’s tech by one of the globe’s premier educational institutions.

Many have asked why the need to formalize and set up this foundation.

The answer is simple: our collective success and building the Eliza ecosystem demands it. The foundation allows us to sign concrete approvals with top tier partners to deliver on core mission.

The foundation is set up to support and accelerate the Eliza ecosystem.
