I’ve been chewing my PT Ricky’s ear and anyone else who’ll listen about how the tech market is shifting – and why that’s actually a good thing.
Traditional funding is drying up, and we’ve left behind the era of low-interest rates and investor-first models.
It’s harder to get a cheque – simple as that
But here’s the thing: it’s not the end – it’s a new beginning.
- Community-first narratives are flipping the script – benefiting those who contribute.
We’re entering a time where alternative paths are emerging.
- Leveraging open-source web3 technologies.
- Building tools that serve communities first – not just investors.
Here’s what’s happening:
- A massive pool of talented developers are on the market.
- Web3 and DAOs (decentralised autonomous organisations) offer real ownership and rewards.
- Projects align with community needs, not just investor priorities.
This is a power shift
Developers and communities aren’t just “users” – they’re stakeholders.
DAOs are creating ecosystems where everyone benefits, not just those writing the cheques.
It’s about…
- Building with open-source Web3.
- Rewarding contributors.
- Creating tools that put communities first.
The opportunities are huge for founders ready to embrace this.
If you’re already building this way – or thinking about it – let’s talk.
