About
B Labs is a community driven research and Web3 first innovation hub providing opportunity to share, collaborate and build with peers. It is a place for people interested in developing innovative solutions, in particular addressing collaboration and coordination challenges.
The Challenge
Web3 is complex, wild, noisy, innovative, vibrant and constantly evolving. At B Labs you can address issues such as:
🎲 Why is there so little community engagement? 🎲 Unaware of obstacles which start creating blockers while busy building. 🎲 Realising a Web3 idea - inception, concept, white paper, necessary steps. 🎲 (How) does the tokenomics model work? 🎲 What is the right token distribution for a project amongst its stakeholders? 🎲 What are the right incentives to attain the desired effect?
The Solution
B Labs provides a platform for people to present, float, discuss, connect, work on and share ideas they are passionate about and would like to meet a group of like-minded people. We are fully aligned with the Ethereum values of open-source, decentralisation, composability, interoperability, collaboration, cooperation, co-creation and transparency. We support early stage projects in focusing on their core goals and needs, helping them to develop and deliver on their business plan. The B Labs community provides services including: ⭕ Organising calls to discuss specific topics ⭕ Finding subject matter experts ⭕ Facilitation and collaboration events ⭕ Help identify funding sources
