## Seeking Investment

This week, we published a post [announcing that we are officially seeking investors](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@utopian-io/utopian-is-ready-to-seek-investors-1m-usd-goal-for-year-2019). This is a big step in any startup's trajectory, which we intend to use to bring Utopian V2 to fruition and go beyond it. 

## EFTG Tasks

We had three tasks this week from our friends at the European Commission's Blockchain Competence Center. All three tasks are about their private Steem blockchain, and you should definitely check them out:

## Utopian V2 Tasks!

As has been the case every week for a while now, our CTO @gregory.latinier has published our own tasks on the road to Utopian V2. This week, we're looking for developers to [add tags to our Articles Module](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@gregory.latinier/utopian-v2-task-article-module-add-a-tag) and create [a project preview card](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@gregory.latinier/utopian-v2-task-project-preview-card). 


## And Even More Tasks
As we do pretty much every week, we recommend that you visit @utopian.tasks often to see what we have in store. This week, we have posts from @finallynetwork, @inertia, and @surpassinggoogle waiting for you. Check it all out. 

## Utopian.io Open Source Radio Show on MSP Waves

This week's radio show was awesome. Our first guest was Kevin Owocki from [Gitcoin](https://gitcoin.co/about), a decentralized application built on the Ethereum Blockchain with a mission similar to our own. We have a feeling we'll be talking to him quite a bit. Our second guest was @punqtured from @byteball, who shared thoughts and plans for the their awesome platform. These were great conversations. 

As usual, the illustrious @techslut had the open source news, and we had two awesome raffles. The first had a Humble Bundle of O'Reilly Devops books, and a surprise addition of 2 SteemMonsters card packs donated by @themarkymark. The second was an surprise raffle following @punqtured's donation of a GB of Byteball.
