Our mission is to bring more women to Web3 and ensure they help build the future of the internet.\n\nThe Challenge\nLess than 5% of crypto entrepreneurs are women. We are here to change that through education, empowerment and job opportunities. \n\nOur Solutions\nWe develop educational solutions for women, newcomers, and organizations, providing them with the knowledge and skills to unlock Web3\u2019s potential and drive innovation.\n\n1. Surge Web3 Content Hub\nThe Surge Web3 Content Hub is an open-sourced space for easily digestible Web3 educational content, focusing on simplifying the technical and social impacts of blockchain. \n\nWe have over 45 articles on blockchain basics, investment best practices, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, articles for devs, and others. Additionally, we\u2019ve gamified our content with interactive quizzes, a fun crypto dictionary, and several articles translated to Spanish for our Hispanic community.\n\n2. Surge Weekly Newsletter\nWe deliver a free weekly newsletter breaking down complex topics, cutting through the noise, and delivering summarized crypto news for our users to stay up-to-date. \n\n3. Surge Passport NFT\nWith the mission of onboarding women into the Web3 industry, we launched the Surge Passport NFT: a golden ticket into the crypto space, offering opportunities, early access, and discounts to token-holders through a one-time purchase.\n\nSold out in less than a week, the Surge Passport is a collection of 5,000 hand-drawn NFTs generated through our custom-built generative art algorithm. Since launch, we have built a community of over 2.5K unique owners who have claimed thousands of dollars in value through their Surge Passport NFT.\n\nAdditionally, because we experienced the difficulties of building and launching an NFT project ourselves, we have spent the last year publishing resources to making the process a lot friendlier. We have created articles describing NFT smart contract development, how to build generative art algorithms, how to market in the web3 space, how to build community, among others.\n\n4. A Web3 Infrastructure Course\nAfter researching our community, we realized many are craving a deeper understanding of how blockchain technology works under the hood. That is why we created the \u201cWeb3 Stack - Crypto Infrastructure Behind the Scenes\u201d course. \n\nThis course is specially designed for people working in non-technical Web3 roles, as well as Web2 engineers looking to understand the Web3 infrastructure deeper to make the leap. Students walk away with a firm grasp of blockchain technology so they can excel in their Web3 career. \n\n5. Surge Jobs Board\nOur Web3 Jobs Board pairs 250+ vetted female talent with some of the industry\u2019s top organizations looking to diversify their teams. This is a key part of our vision in securing women\u2019s place within Web3, as we provide organizations with hiring opportunities directly from the talent we\u2019re seeing rise in our community.\n\n6. A vibrant and supportive Discord community\nConnecting women and non-binary individuals in real-time, our 8k+ Discord community is filled with newcomers and experts who support one another through our crypto learning journey. Strategically built to be a friendly, welcoming and inclusive environment, this is the digital home for the Surge community to run initiatives, share insights, and collaborate synchronously.\n\nThe Future of Surge\nWe\u2019re laser-focused on bringing more community initiatives to life and providing even more value to those who have trusted us with this mission.\n\nAlongside our many initiatives - like ecosystem research, Twitter Spaces, articles, investments, and community projects - we will now be heavily invested in developing open-source educational content for individuals and organizations to learn and scale up their Web3 capabilities. We invite anyone who shares our mission, including our male allies, to join us in making this possible.\n\nProviding free, easy-to-understand educational content is a huge challenge to solve, but we are confident that with the right resources and like-minded individuals, there\u2019s a lot more we can do to solve this imbalance!\n\n**Support us and help us secure women's place in Web3. Your donations will be used to pay our contributors, purchase tooling, and continue to fund our educational, research, and community initiatives.**\n\nFollow us on Twitter (@surge_woman) and join our vibrant community!", "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "surge_women"}
