By bringing together many projects building on the public goods funding stack through conferences and residencies, and incorporating representatives leading common infrastructure projects, builders and thought leaders, and facilitating cross-pollination and collaboration, we have effectively facilitated and encouraged consolidation of public goods funding projects to meet at a schelling point that makes sense at this time. Problems Addressed   Educational Gap:   Addressed the widespread lack of comprehensive and accessible knowledge about the state of public goods funding, especially in web3, by organizing educational conferences and collaborative events.   Creating Unpressured Space for Innovation:   During our Berlin residency, we combated the standard pressures associated with startup dynamics and venture capital by providing a conducive environment for public goods builders. This allowed creators to innovate freely, and the physical presence amplified collaboration opportunities that remote work couldn\u2019t match. The direct outcome was the birth of several new collaborations, greatly accelerating the progress of many projects. Eliminating Redundancies:   Our events at Zuzalu Montenegro, Berlin, and Paris tackled another pressing issue - the problem of redundant work. By bringing together individuals and projects from various spheres, we dissolved silos that had inadvertently formed in the ecosystem. As a result, projects discovered synergies and began collaborating, thereby optimizing resources and efforts.
