Where We Stand

Cioré is currently in its early development phase, actively building the foundation of our brand, product, and community. We have begun assembling a growing team of passionate contributors, structuring internal systems, and designing the first Privacy First, Solar Powered mobile device made from sustainable materials.

Right now, we are not yet manufacturing devices. We are still in the community powered phase, securing resources, testing materials, refining our OS vision, and developing the infrastructure needed to launch this product the right way.

Spending Transparency

To date, no donor funds have been spent.
Everything accomplished so far has been fully self funded by the founder, not by outside investors, grants, or sponsorships. Every tool, every system, and every piece of progress you see has been powered by personal investment, sacrifice, and unwavering belief in this mission.

Here’s what has already been covered out-of-pocket:

• Comprehensive research into privacy standards, encryption models, and secure architecture
• Market studies comparing Big Tech phone models, surveillance trends, and repairability gaps
• Analysis of consumer sentiment around sustainability and tech ownership
• Competitive audits of mobile hardware supply chains and ethical sourcing practices
• Consultation with environmental engineers regarding solar integration and eco-materials
• Legal fees for trademark filings, IP consultation, and brand protection
• Domain registration, email security systems, and hosting platforms
• Website design and development
• Brand development, design assets, messaging frameworks, and launch materials
• Strategy sessions and toolkits created for campaign execution, including fundraising, social media rollout, and community outreach

This has never been just an idea. It’s already a living, funded effort in motion.
