💡Vision

In a world where founders, customers, and capital are collapsing into each other, the opportunity for a more successful and virtuous startup building mode is becoming more participant-focused.

That’s why we’re building the next iteration of Tachyon - a Networked Global Startup Ecosystem of participant-contributors, de-risking and opening the surface area for startup success so that every startup begins with the capital and network it needs.

🤔 Why?

A networked global startup ecosystem that supports tens of thousands of the most ambitious web3 startups. Tachyon must become a networked ecosystem to reach the necessary scale to achieve its mission while aligning incentives between its various stakeholder communities. We envision this as the next evolution of DAOs and want to have a hand in creating it with the broader web3 ecosystem.

Give ownership back to the community that helps create the value (the ethos of crypto)
Creates an open community for web3 entrepreneurs, founders and investors to collaborate, which will lead to:
- More accelerator applications/better founder quality
- Better Mentors-Founder engagement
- Larger investor network
Remove the barriers to participating (Email, Slack, Zoom, etc.)
- i.e. Founder<>Mentor; Mentor<>Mentor; Mentor<>Investor better coordination through a web3 networked stack

🎯 Ecosystem Goals

In order to achieve long-term alignment with Tachyon's Tachyon Mission, Vision & Principles

Build a co-owned and operated networked ecosystem of the most value-add members of the web3 community, across the key domains that startups need to succeed (tech, product, fundraising, hiring, g2m, etc)
Do so at significant scale, while removing the barriers of participation between founders, mentors, investors and the various key stakeholders of our community
Create an incentive mechanism that allows startups to tap the expertise of mentors in a particular domain, at scale, while remaining consistent with our Tachyon First Principles

♟️ Stakeholders, Behaviors & Incentives

<aside> 💡 The following are the key stakeholders in the community, their desired behaviors, and both the intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivations. One of the key considerations is that a single actor can occupy multiple roles in the network and have overlapping incentives.

🎓Alumni Founders

The role of Tachyon alumni is one of the most important in the network. As the network of successful founders grows, the value of each Tachyon investment grows exponentially. We ultimately want to build an ecosystem that supports our alumni.
