For all anons. digging this vein, Schmidt has a company called Timshel that was formed to "assist" HRC22 in 2016. Although "thou mayest" is my favorite word in American Lit & pissed that fucker took & twisted it, shelved further digging as it seemed like water under the bridge with all going on.
But with that Notables post on (((NGP Van))) & Seth Rich, now not so sure that it's not still relevant, perhaps very.
Quick & dirty dig to get the collective juices flowing–

(((The Groundwork is one of the Clinton campaign’s biggest vendors))), billing it for more than $177,000 in the second quarter of 2015, according to federal filings. Yet many political operatives know little about it. Its website consists entirely of a grey-on-black triangle logo that suggests “the digital roots of change” while also looking vaguely like the Illuminati symbol:
“We’re not trying to obfuscate anything, we’re just trying to keep our heads down and do stuff,” says (((Michael Slaby))), who runs the Groundwork. He was the (((chief technology officer for president Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, a top digital executive for Obama 2012))), and the former chief technology strategist for (((TomorrowVentures, Schmidt’s angel investment fund))).
He explained that the Groundwork and its parent company, (((Chicago-based Timshel)))—named for a Hebrew word meaning “you may” and devoted to “helping humanity solve our most difficult social, civic, and humanitarian challenges”—are (((“all one project, with the same backers,” whom he declined to name))).
“There are a lot of people who can write big checks,” Slaby says. “Eric recognizes how the technology he’s been building his whole career can be applied to different spaces. The idea of tech as a (((force multiplier))) is something (((he deeply understands))).”
Perhaps the standout innovation from the Obama campaign was known as “Optimizer,” a tool that allowed the campaign to deploy carefully targeted television ads. Rather than rely on broad demographic data about programs and time slots, the (((Obama tech team accessed detailed information from TV set-top boxes))) to identify the most cost-efficient ways to reach hard-to-reach voters.
one veteran Democratic operative says. “Who’s going to say, ‘Hey, billionaire smartest tech guy on the planet, thanks but no thanks?’”
