TogetherCrew

From Hype to Breakouts: How Smart Chains Attract Smart Founders

TogetherCrew recently hosted an X Space with Pareen, who’s building the founder network at Monad.

They explored what really drives traction for L1s and L2s, how top founders choose which chains to build on, and what signals to look for when backing early-stage ventures.

Here are a few standout takeaways:

• “In 2021, chains chased number of apps as a core metric. That’s no longer enough. Today, every chain needs its Polymarket moment.”
• “What do founders really want from chains? It’s not just capital. Smart people want to work with smart people.”
• “Don’t chase hype. Back founders who ship weekly, not those with flashy Zealy campaigns.”

Whether you're a builder, investor, or just Web3-curious, the conversation is packed with sharp insights.

Check here for a quick rundown with audio highlights, or listen to the full recording!

Collabberry

Redefining roles, Empowering the teams

Collabberry aims to provide organizations not only with tools for dynamic equity, but also with dynamic accountability and ownership over the projects they lead. Recent leadership challenges—common in startups—led the team to test their AI-driven prototype, enabling adaptive roles aligned with shifting priorities. The result? A refreshed structure:

• Gustavo is now CEO and will lead the team toward a renewed value proposition that merges AI Agents with web3 capabilities to empower teams with greater accountability.
• Milena will now focus solely on her strengths as Technical Lead, stepping back from excess responsibilities.
• Nickolay is reaffirming his role in Product & Operations, with a focus on shipping features and implementing effective team processes.
• Cansy has stepped into the role of Grip Tape Master, working to build a more secure and stable connection between the team and its customers.
• Iulia continues her work as a UX Designer and Developer, ensuring a smooth and usable experience for end users.

Fair AI

Building Something New: LYSIA Labs

Fair AI is currently building LYSIA Labs, a new website designed to help businesses discover how AI can solve real operational challenges, quickly and clearly.

From accelerating everyday workflows to surfacing critical insights before problems escalate, the platform focuses on what matters most to teams on the ground. It is designed to speak directly to the people solving problems—those in need of innovative tools, not noise.

The team looks forward to sharing it soon. Stay tuned—LYSIA Labs is almost here.

CONTRIBO

Contribo is building an AI-powered platform that instantly matches Web3 talent with opportunities, moving beyond traditional job boards to create meaningful connections between builders and projects.

Over the past week, the Contribo team has been refining their pitch deck based on investor feedback, focusing on defining their competitive differentiation and strengthening their value proposition around portable reputation systems and instant matchmaking. They are particularly excited about their breakthrough in insight discovery, which enables developers to build verifiable reputations through bounties that translate directly into hiring opportunities, while giving companies access to pre-validated talent.

Looking ahead, Contribo is preparing for its next funding phase with RnDAO and exploring how staking mechanisms could create stronger accountability in its reputation system.
