# Who would participate in the 'Requests & Offers - HC/MVP'?

### Holochain Advocates

These folks are keenly interested in Holochain and want to contribute to the ecosystem. While they might not understand developer-speak, they know that the need for a distributed and agent-centric Internet is vital to the future. Many understand that with personal agency Holochain creates more opportunities for a truly more collaborative world.

Additionally, some of these Advocates might have visions of building a hApp, with a good idea, or the desire to learn Holochain.  They may want to *become* Creators.

Many Advocates have been early adopters, become [**Holo Hosts**](https://holo.host/host/), and often invested in the various early projects. **Holochain Advocates want to be contributors, regardless of technical abilities, and want to support the broader vision of Holo & Holochain.**
