Innovation DAO empowering humane collaboration by conducting research, incubating web3 collaboration tools, and providing educational resources for sustainable growth in the ecosystem.

A research-first venture builder supporting collaboration software startups in web3. 🤝


What is RnDAO?

RnDAO is an innovation DAO, with a mission to empower humane collaboration.

We deliver research and build collaboration technology ventures such as organizational tools, community tools, DAO operations and governance tools.

Concretely, we focus on:

  1. Public Goods Research: identifying shared challenges in the ecosystem and bringing together cross-disciplinary teams to produce in-depth public goods research.

    E.g. sub-DAOs practices and challenges, web3 community health assessment, rewards & compensation, decentralised leadership, etc

  2. Venture Building: applying the learnings to incubate and build research-informed tools, and offering an “innovation space” (community as a service, team coaching, strategy facilitation, networks and partnerships) for early stage tooling projects.

    Our current ventures include:

    TogetherCrew | Meet With Wallet | Harmonica | Microflow | SchoolDAO

  3. Community Education: sharing our research, recording informative interviews with public goods innovators and projects, and running educational webinars and X (Twitter) spaces to support venture builders.

Our traction since launching RnDAO

In just over one year since launching the RnDAO venture studio, we have:

And we’re just getting started.


What your support will help us build next

We have bootstrapped our way to where we are, and now we are looking to raise funds to:

  • Continue to support our existing ventures as they mature
  • Onboard the next cohort of ventures engineering swarm tech innovation
  • Research core challenges to produce in-depth public goods analysis
  • Develop the RnDAO community into a movement promoting humane collaboration

What is RnDAO bringing to web3?

RnDAO is a swarm focused on the future of work.

The Ethereum ecosystem has developed very significant infrastructure, and now we can begin to focus on developing impactful applications.

But 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.

RnDAO’s proven Venture Studio model finds, funds, and fosters projects that focus on collaboration tech. This work will seed a collaboration-tech product ecosystem that:

  • Delivers commercially viable ventures that address societal challenges with impact in both Web3 and beyond
  • Develops operational and governance excellence as a key capability for the broader web3 ecosystem

We'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.

At RnDAO, we focus on six key Pillars essential for future collaboration technology:

  1. Decentralized Governance: Enables democratic decision-making.
  2. Legal & Ownership: Aligns stakeholders through clear contracts.
  3. Community & Culture: Promotes vibrant communities and sustainable growth.
  4. Financial Management: Streamlines budgeting and resource allocation.
  5. Operations & Talent: Manages human resources efficiently.
  6. Communication: Ensures effective internal information flow.

"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
