Scope is an innovative streaming service that centres human creative endeavour, while employing the full potential of generative and virtual reality technologies to create immersive and customisable viewing content. 

We are proud to uphold the value of human artistry and recognise that AI, no matter how advanced, can't replicate the unique creativity and empathy of humans. Audiences are telling us their trust has waned as AI struggles to grasp human experience and artistic expression. To combat this, we ensure human involvement in our content across subscription tiers, even in the most cost-effective options. Independent creatives collaborate remotely, and audience ratings guide our AI to produce engaging content. We're transparent about AI use, with upfront title cards in every program. We also credit and compensate humans for their input. "

“Our company sprung to life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Losing the ability to interact with our communities impacted us all more than we could have imagined, and so we wanted to bring back joy to the lives of our local communities, to reunite us once again.The digital food scene at this time was also really starting to blossom. We were inspired by groups such as Too Good To Go, Olio and Eat With and how they used the internet to create these communities that extended beyond your small network. We saw the popularity of these apps, and paired it with another digital economy trend beginning to form at the time, platform monopolies. We could see the rise and dominance of ‘all in one’ platforms such as Facebook, Google and Amazon. These companies were trying to provide multiple services rather than focusing on one. This is what we wanted to do too, to be not only the provider of food, but also recipes and community.”

“We are a not-for-profit association providing a forum to raise awareness and provide focus on positive action. Here at De Future, we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since our founding in 2021, we have been determined to make an impact in our world, our efforts are based on bringing communities together. Through all of our endeavors, we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs, while taking a growing role in shaping social and economic trends worldwide.The shift in social, ecological, and economic spheres bought about by the Global Pandemic of 2020 has resulted in the denouncing of a growth paradigm to a more sustainable and equitable model based on degrowth of the economy, communal sharing, and Newtopian labor strategies.  This post-capitalist structure has helped to lower our carbon footprint and resulted in a more resilient society that is vibrant, engaged, and culturally diverse - working together for a joint vision of equality. Embracing social and civic innovations and creating a healthy human culture that is healing, compassionate, and connected.”
