Ecosystem Vision Ecosystem Vision is a one stop platform to learn about funding opportunities across crypto.

We cover data for hundreds of grant programs, and quantify their impact on the ecosystem. Our handy AI grant finder allows to find a suitable grant program for everyone's project.

Ecosystem Vision is a project built by the JobStash.xyz team in collaboration with members of the Cartographer Syndicate. Its aim is to index every organization, project and source of funding in the ecosystem, along with providing metrics and verified data about organizations, ethereum alignment, and verified staff.

We leverage data accumulated by JobStash about 6500+ organizations and 3000+ projects, and just got started with this new project.

We are fully independent, bootstrapped, and support DeFi protocols, networks, and other onchain and offchain projects in need of staff.

Our Goals

• Ecosystem Vision is an aggregator. We aim to aggregate as much data about the ecosystem as we can.
• Become the default source of funding (both grants and VC) information across the ecosystem
• Become a beacon of ethereum alignment metrics across the ecosystem

Our advantage

We have been building aggregators for two years, and want to leverage the unique data we have amassed through our lifetime. We have an audience of 8000 subscribers willing to engage, and have built a reputation for being a neutral organization building projects that are useful for the community.

Problems We Are Addressing

• Lack of clarity over which grant programs are currently accepting grantees
• Lack of easily accessible and aggregated impact metrics for projects
• Lack of verifiable contact points at organizations in the space (too many scams..)

Solutions We Implemented

• We aggregated all grant programs from Karma GAP
• We aggregated funding impact from OpenSource Observer
• Built an AI grant finder based on data of over 250 grant programs
• A full list of 6500 organizations active in crypto
• A list of ±4000 projects active in crypto

End-User Value

Our platform aims to support founders wishing to find funding in the ecosystem and to conduct business with trustworthy counterparties.

Goals

• Continuously improve our UI and data pipelines. We spent 2 years building JobStash, and will commit to building Ecosystem Vision doing so as long as we can.
• Integrate more data sources and onboard additional organizations and projects.
• Integrate additional sources of funding data for better understanding of evaluated opportunities.
• Build ZK proving for verifiable data
• Build metrics around ethereum alignment for projects we index as per Vitalik's latest post

Team Information

Our diverse, global team consists of four full-time members and two part-time contributors (5 devs and 1 designer), with plans to expand soon. David Leonardi, an engineer passionate about building projects benefiting makers and builders, founded the Jobstash organization in September 2022, and we built Ecosystem Vision thanks to a grant from ThankArb, delivering the platform in September 20204.

Source of Funds

Grants have been an instrumental source of funding for our project. We are prod to have been supported by ThankArb.

Use of Funds

Funds received will cover infrastructure bills and support our engineers in working full-time without external influences. Our costs include GitHub, OpenAI, Figma, hosting, and various software vendor licenses. We aim to compensate our contributors fairly, considering living costs in their regions across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
