About Solow

The ecosystem needs builders. We address this problem by helping people move forward in crypto. How? With education:

Solow is a 100% free crypto academy in Latam.

Yes, 100% free. Focused on builders and open to anyone who wants to join us in making crypto better.

We've been working for over 2 years, impacting more than 30,000 souls on the way. Free live courses, educational games, hackathons, tutorials, articles, learn-to-earn campaigns, and basically every possible educational format you can think of.

Solow Today

We organize our efforts under 3 key initiatives:

  • Solow Content: we have free open platform with more than 60 gamified courses, newsletter, youtube channel and blog. We deliver around 5 pieces of high-quality content every week.
  • Solow Builds: we host a 6-week program for builders to follow their dreams. We support them with workshops, mentorship and network so they can turn their dreams into reality.
  • Solow Academy: we organize free live courses on Youtube. Each course is around 15/20 hours long and features the best teachers in Latam. We’ve done courses on Crypto basics, Solidity and Crypto Infrastructure.

Our most recent impact: Solow Builds in depth

A 6-week program designed for builders. Participants set an optimistic goal for themselves and have to put in the best effort to achieve it during the first four weeks, making weekly updates on the progress and participating in workshops, talks and gatherings. Then, 8 participants are selected to compete for a +600usd price in the “Builders Cup”, a Twitter competition in which the community decides the winner.

In our first edition (July 3rd - August 11th), 155 builders joined and set their goals. Only 8 made it to the Builders Cup because of their significant advances.
