Cioré

Contribute
Your Genius

Cioré is built by people who believe in something worth building. We have two paths for those who want to be part of it: Contributors — volunteers who give time, skill, and intention to help build the company from the ground up — and Collaborators — aligned individuals, organizations, or brands who want to partner, co-create, or explore what building together could look like.

Cioré — Contribute Your Genius
Volunteer Role

Contributors are people who give their time and skill to help build Cioré. All roles are unpaid volunteer opportunities. In exchange, you gain real experience, documentation, and direct access to the founder and team.

About the Initiative

The Give & Grow Initiative

The Give & Grow Initiative is Cioré's contributor program — a structured, intentional way to bring talented, mission-aligned people into the build. All contributor roles are unpaid volunteer opportunities. In exchange, contributors gain real project experience, contribution documentation where appropriate, and direct access to the founder and core team. This is not a gig. It is a founding chapter.

External Partnership

Collaborators are organizations, brands, or individuals who want to partner with Cioré in a meaningful, aligned way. Not vendors or sponsors — people who share the mission and want to build together.

Collaboration

Aligned Partnerships & Co-Creation

We're open to meaningful collaborations with people and organizations who share our values. Not sponsors. Not vendors. Partners — those who see the mission and want to be part of building something that actually matters.

Cioré is a privacy-first, solar-assisted, modular smartphone company built for people who want more — more control, more durability, more intentionality in the technology they carry.

We are early-stage and building with purpose. If you see alignment — in a creative collaboration, a strategic connection, a shared cause, or a shared audience — we want to hear from you.
