+Brooke works closely with Eric. Through developing [https://theportal.group/blog/ The Portal Blog], transcribing all content featuring [[Eric Weinstein]] and her frequent conversations with him, she is the best judge for how projects match up to the values of the Portal. If you have a high value project, it is worth showing her.

+Brandon is a professional web developer and consultant. He runs the Discord server, built the [https://theportal.group website] and projects databases, and set up the [[Portal Wiki|wiki]]. He coordinates day to day management when he isn't deep in dev projects.
+===Tim===
+[[File:Tim Profile.png|100px|right]]
+Tim is a university student who in a short time has studied much of the math Eric talks about. He and Eric regularly discuss MATHS.
