Meta-Community Foundations

Looking to jump into the wonderful world of Web3 and the metaverse, but don't know where to start?

Well look no further!

From NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) to DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) to DeFi (Decentralized Finance), we cover all the fundamentals of these areas from a culture + community perspective.

NOTE: when we mention the "metaverse", we don't just mean Facebook's new re-brand to Meta 😉

We're taking all we know about building communities for blockchain-based projects, plus content from our recent cohort-based Meta-Community Micro-Accelerator (valued at over $4K+), and are compressing it into an affordable, self-paced, online course for YOU!

Why culture & community?

If you're from a traditional industry or profession, or are curious but non-technical, building "community" is the #1 ingredient needed to succeed in this space.

It's one of the easiest-to-grasp entry points when getting up-to-speed with the ecosystem.

While the 2010s were all about personal brands, the 2020s are quickly becoming about community brands. This is why most successful NFT or DAO projects emphasize the power of "community", and why some are even getting acquired for millions due to their community + brand power.

Understand the fundamentals

So instead of getting bogged down in technical jargon, we analyze the shift in human behaviors shaping this emerging, trillion-dollar industry. By understanding the fundamentals, you'll have a better understanding as to WHY things are changing, and then how best to prepare for it.

What you get

• Access to a self-paced, online-course (valued over $4K)
• Over 10+ hours worth of video content
• Unique templates + frameworks (e.g. Notion, Miro, Canva)
• Access to interviews with high-profile meta-community builders

What is a meta-community?
