HERD.
Give the coast ten minutes.
Put your brand on the network that listens.
HERD is an open-science mission building a low-cost infrasound network for early detection of tsunamis and volcanic eruptions — born in Phuket in memory of December 26, 2004. We accept corporate sponsorship with clear deliverables: logo placement, named stations, and auditable CSR reporting your finance team can book as marketing expense.
60-second pitch
- $25 home sensor — citizen science network across coastal Asia, open data forever.
- Station #1 in Phuket — prototype lab live, development journal public.
- Not a charity pitch — you receive brand value back; we deliver measurable CSR artifacts.
- Separate from pre-orders — customer deposits are held and refundable; sponsorship funds R&D directly.
Why developers & coastal brands
Your projects sit where the risk is real. Sponsoring HERD ties your name to resilience — schools, fishing villages, and homeowners get subsidized sensors; you get map presence and a story that survives a board review.
Why this beats a bare donation
A gift to a company is usually not deductible. A sponsorship with deliverables (logo, CSR letter, quarterly report) is normally a legitimate marketing / CSR expense. Larger partners can structure co-funded R&D under BOI incentives.
Sponsor tiers (annual)
| Tier | Investment | Key deliverables |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | $1,000 / yr | Logo on supporters page · quarterly spending report · CSR impact letter · founders wall |
