The Monkey Got Thumbs Manifesto

Monkey Got Thumbs is more than a platform — it’s a movement. Our core belief is simple: technology should make humans smarter, more effective, and more collaborative. Too often, artificial intelligence is framed as a replacement for people. We believe in the opposite: augmented intelligence should amplify human creativity, insight, and problem-solving.

When we say “technology,” we don’t just mean AI systems or machine learning algorithms. Technology is ideas, code, user experience, research, and even the simple act of sharing a thought. Every time humans invent a new way of working together, they create technology. That’s why we bring together developers, designers, strategists, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, researchers, and everyday people into one collaborative ecosystem.

Monkey Got Thumbs is about turning collaboration into a superpower. By combining UX design thinking, open-source code, startup energy, and collective intelligence, we accelerate innovation. A single person can spark an idea, but when ideas meet capital, design, and technical expertise, they evolve into real-world solutions that can change industries.

Our community is built on inclusivity: normies, professionals, contributors, and investors all have a place. Some bring funding, others bring skills, and many bring fresh perspectives that make projects more resilient and creative. This mixture of viewpoints creates breakthroughs that no algorithm could generate alone.

Focus Areas: We care deeply about the future of work, augmented intelligence, startup ecosystems, venture capital partnerships, UX and design innovation, open collaboration, and human + AI teamwork. These are the building blocks of smarter societies and the foundation for solving the world’s hardest problems.

Our vision is to make collaboration great again by redefining what it means to use technology. Whether it’s a piece of code on GitHub, a UX prototype, a brainstormed strategy, or a conversation that sparks an idea, all of these are forms of technology. Monkey Got Thumbs exists to harness them and turn them into something greater: collective intelligence.

Join us. Share your thoughts, your skills, your capital, or just your curiosity. Together, we can build a future where humans thrive not because AI replaces us, but because augmented intelligence lifts us higher.
