Our work includes ecosystem development methodologies ( fund deployment through grants and combined methods), governance, operations, identity and reputation, and community.\n    \n2. **[Venture Building:](https://www.rndao.info/our-ventures)** applying the learnings to incubate and build research-informed tools, and offering an \u201cinnovation space\u201d (community as a service, team coaching, strategy facilitation, networks and partnerships) for early stage tooling projects. \n\n \n    Our current ventures include:\n    \n      - [TogetherCrew |](https://www.togethercrew.com/) \n      - [Meet With Wallet |](https://meetwithwallet.xyz/) \n      - [Harmonica |](https://linktr.ee/harmoni.ca) \n      - [Microflow |](https://microflow.app/) \n      - [CollabBerry](https://x.com/collabberry) \n      - [Farstar](https://farstar.co/)\n      - [Cofound3r](https://www.cofound3r.com/)\n    \n3. **[Community Education](https://www.youtube.com/@rndaotalks/videos):** sharing our research, recording informative interviews with public goods innovators and projects, and running educational webinars and X (Twitter) spaces to support venture builders.\n    \n    Published Research on [Mirror](https://rndao.mirror.xyz/) and our [Blog](https://www.rndao.io/blog/category/articles)\n    \n    [RnDAO Talks](https://www.youtube.com/@rndaotalks/videos) on Youtube\n    \n    [Events & Webinars](https://lu.ma/u/rndao) schedule\n    \n    [![RUB23_VideoThumb_Guil-Cori (1).png](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/652005eee7b34681ca9b88ac/654a86ff4977ea0dde4e967c_RnDAO%20Sizzle%20vid%20cover.png)`](https://youtu.be/oSFS3Yv-nW8)\n\n\nAnd we\u2019re just getting stronger.\n\n---\n\n# **What your support will help us build next**\n\nWe have bootstrapped our way to where we are, all funds go towards:\n\n- Continue to support our existing ventures as they mature\n- Onboard the next cohort of ventures creating swarm tech innovation\n- Research core challenges to produce in-depth public goods analysis\n- Develop the RnDAO community into a movement promoting humane collaboration\n- Share best practices about ecosystem development and organisation\n\n---\n\n# **What is RnDAO bringing to web3?**\n\nRnDAO is a swarm focused on the future of work.\n\nThe Ethereum ecosystem has developed very significant infrastructure, and now we can begin to focus on developing impactful applications.\n\nBut how? When a builder has identified the right problem, many lack the research skills to dive deep and the supporting community to pull them out of theoretical weeds. No wonder **75% of hackathon winners abandon their projects and 90% of accelerated startups fail.**\n\nRnDAO\u2019s Swarm model finds, funds, and fosters projects that focus on collaboration tech. This work will seed a collaboration-tech product ecosystem that:\n\n- Delivers commercially viable ventures that address societal challenges with impact in both Web3 and beyond\n- Develops operational and governance excellence as a key capability for the broader web3 ecosystem\n\nWe've cultivated an expert community focused on collaboration challenges, from Oxford to INSEAD, Google, BCG, Aragon, Gitcoin, Polygon and beyond. We connect those passionate about reinventing collaboration with those knowledgeable about the intricacies.\n\n\n*\"Improving human collaboration is perhaps the highest leverage activity we can undertake; it has a systemic impact on the major challenges we have as a species.\"* - Daniel Ospina\n\n---\n\n# **Meet the Team**\n\n[**About us**](https://www.rndao.io/about-us)\n\n\n\n\n\u26ab [Visit our Website](https://www.rndao.io/)\n\n\u26ab [Join our Discord](https://discord.com/invite/jKaYS2dkXq)\n\n\u26ab\u00a0[Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/RnDAO__)", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "RnDAO", "projectTwitter": "rndao__"}, "recipient": "0xBbB55389831D3b01338Ed91b637FC21a606F3357"}}
