Fresh New-World-Model for Web3 Acceleration
It takes a village to grow a child and it's a community of coaches, friends, and well-wishers to help a startup become successful.
Hence, we have developed a model where there is wealth distributed to the coaches by Foundership from the equity/token we receive from startups/projects that join Foundership’s 0xCamp Incubation Program & LaunchCamp Acceleration program.
Foundership’s CoachDAO Philosophy: We coach Startups to succeed and co-create wealth in the process.
You will find more detail about equitable wealth creation with coaches and the community at https://docs.foundershiphq.com/our-model/coach-dao
