Partner with OpenElpis

How you can help

OpenElpis runs on donated infrastructure and goodwill. It's a non-profit, open-source project — not yet a registered legal entity — building a trustworthy, citation-grounded AI research copilot for breast cancer, free for everyone. Here are the concrete ways you can help make it real.

Ways to help

Cloud, compute & infrastructure providers

If your company provides cloud, hosting, storage, CDN or GPU compute, donated credits or free-tier capacity directly power the platform. Our Phase-1 footprint is small and portable (~$3,000–$5,000/yr retail value) — covering even one line item materially de-risks the project.

  • A 24/7 compute instance (~8 vCPU / 16–32 GB RAM / 200 GB NVMe)
  • Object storage (250 GB – 2 TB, S3-compatible)
  • CDN + WAF + DDoS protection in front of the public site
  • Managed PostgreSQL (~2 vCPU / 8 GB / 100 GB)
  • Bursty GPU compute (a few hundred A100/H100-class GPU-hours per year)

Doctors, clinics & hospitals

Clinical partners are the heart of the trust pipeline. You can help validate what goes in and guide what we build — with no patient-identifiable data involved in the early phases.

  • Become a verified contributor or expert reviewer of breast-cancer literature and findings
  • Share de-identified, aggregate findings through a governed, ethics-first pipeline (deferred until data-use agreements and IRB oversight are in place)
  • Advise on clinical relevance, safety, and the real research questions worth answering
  • Help shape data-governance and review standards

Researchers & academic institutions

Researchers and labs make the corpus worth trusting.

  • Contribute validated literature, de-identified datasets, or structured findings
  • Peer-review submissions and advise on the curated corpus
  • Collaborate on methods, evaluation, and open publications
  • Connect us with relevant programs, grants, or communities

Individuals who want to help financially

OpenElpis is an independent, non-profit project and is not yet a registered legal entity, so there's no public donation button yet. If you'd like to support it financially, get in touch — every offer is handled openly and transparently.

  • Pledge to cover a specific running cost (e.g. a month of server or storage)
  • Register your interest to donate once a registered non-profit / fiscal sponsor is in place
  • Sponsor a milestone or a specific feature

Other ways to help

Not in one of the boxes above? There's still plenty you can do.

  • Contribute to the open-source code on GitHub
  • Introduce us to a cloud / nonprofit-credits program or a potential funder
  • Offer pro-bono help (legal, design, nonprofit formation, translation)
  • Simply spread the word

What partners receive in return

  • Founding-partner recognition on openelpis.com, our GitHub, and release notes
  • A real impact case study — a co-authored blog post on powering open breast-cancer research
  • Periodic impact reports: contributors onboarded, corpus size, researcher queries served, datasets published
  • Optional co-marketing around milestones, fully at your discretion

Why supporting OpenElpis is low-risk

  • No raw patient data by design in the early phases — published literature and de-identified, aggregate material only
  • Human-validated, auditable, and retractable — not live-scraped, and never trained directly on uploads
  • Open-source and portable across providers — no proprietary lock-in
  • Clear liability framing: a research-support tool for professionals, never diagnosis or treatment advice
