My name is Tarzine. I have worked at fortune 500 companies for 18+ years. I have been laid off twice.
While looking for work and getting ghosted like everyone else, I started building Desivity. Completely alone. Completely self-funded.
I am building this while my rent is due. While my electricity was almost cut off. While I have no medical insurance, and while I am on food stamps. I AM STILL BUILDING.
Here is the truth no one wants to say out loud: I am not just building a platform. I am trying to survive.
That is why I need your help.
I need $10,000 for me:
- Back rent so I do not get evicted
- Electricity bill before it gets shut off
- An unexpected dental bill (infection, possible root canal)
I need $40,000 for Desivity:
- Hosting costs (30 days left, May 31 is the end)
- Bug fixes and infrastructure
- Legal fees for privacy protection
Total goal: $50,000
PROBLEM: WHY DESIVITY MUST EXIST?
Think about the last time you poured yourself into something. A project. A job application. A creative idea you stayed up late to finish.
Designers, creators and people are exploited every day.
They go on LinkedIn to find jobs only to be ghosted by employers.
They are on Facebook, Instagram, Dribbble, Behance and TikTok to get their work stolen. No credit. Data harvested.
They are on Discord, Slack, Substack trying to find a community.
And every major platform profits from it.
That feeling, when you realize no one is coming to help. That is what I lived. That is what I am building to stop.

THE PROOF
89 surveyed creators. 21 direct signups. Two years of self-funding through two layoffs. No salary. Just building.
THE ASK
One. Sign up for the alpha at https://desivity.com.
Two. Donate any amount. $10 buys a day of hosting. $500 keeps my electricity on for two months. $10,000 keeps me housed and healthy so I can finish this.
Three. If you are an angel investor, help us cross the finish line. I have done the impossible alone. I should not have to.
This only works if we do it together. Support Desivity.com - today!
