📝 Collaborate, Build, and Own with RnDAO

RnDAO is not your typical startup studio. Our Swarm model lets you plug into a powerful product ecosystem while building fast and lean with a team that shares ownership.

Our latest blog post breaks down what it’s like to join as a contributor—someone who wants to actively shape startups with a long-term mindset. We explain our values, expectations, compensation model, and how contributors gain a real voice and stake in the ventures they help build.

If you’re not looking for just a gig, but for a team, a mission, and a stake in something bigger - start here.

Monthly Community Updates

While we needed to adjust our July schedule internally, skipping the Community Call this month, we didn't want to pause the updates! We've put together a slide deck to keep everyone in the loop.

Check out the slides for the latest from RnDAO, our ventures, and a warm welcome to our new Community Partner, ETHMexico!

Keep an eye out for the announcement of our August Community Call – coming very soon! We hope you can join us.

Web3 communities are complex, fast-moving, and increasingly high-stakes. Being armed with the right tools is half the battle.

Whether it's a DAO, a meme community, or a stealth venture, this comprehensive guide supports teams in streamlining operations, boosting engagement, and future-proofing their communities. The article explores the tools used by ventures like ImpactDAO, MetaGame, and RnDAO.

Collabberry

The berries are calling developers

Summer has begun, and while ideas are ripening under the sun, the CollabBerry development patch could use some attention. With core builders currently away, a key feature is awaiting thoughtful implementation.

CollabBerry is looking for a full-stack dev (or duo) to help build an automation system for contributor payments:

A solution to send salaries or rewards — in crypto, fiat, or tokens — while automatically linking each payout to CollabBerry TeamPoints (TPs). The functional specification document provides full details.

The goal is to eliminate manual tracking and create a streamlined, trust-based compensation flow.

If this sounds like your kind of summer side quest, email gus@collabberry.xyz with:

• A budget estimate
• Timeline to deliver
• Thoughts on receiving part of the payment in TeamPoints (TPs) — CollabBerry’s shared-ownership tokens. Include what % of the fee could be considered in TPs, and what would make that feel meaningful and fair.

Together, let’s co-create the tools that help trust grow. The berries are calling. 🍇

🧑‍💻 Hackathon Continuation Program Updates

Fair AI

Expanding Reach and Refining the Message in the Manufacturing Sector

Over the past week, Fair AI has continued to advance its outreach efforts to engage with potential partners in the manufacturing space. In addition, the team has focused on refining how they communicate the value of their solution, working to strengthen the messaging so it speaks more effectively to the priorities and challenges of manufacturing organizations.

WE.LIVED.IT

Model Testing

• WE.LIVED.IT is continuing to test the model with two synthetic communities — HerDAO.AI and LeftistDAO.AI. The contexts are obviously different, but what’s interesting is that the LeftistDAO.AI community requires less moderation due to their culture of engaging in deep political debate. As a result, the strictness level of their tool is lower than that of HerDAO.AI.

Upcoming LinkedIn Live & Workshops

• The team is preparing for the August AI Bias workshops with Women in Blockchain Talks. They’ll kick off with a LinkedIn Live session, offering a preview of what the workshops will cover.

CONTRIBO

Discover Your Next Web3 Opportunity

Contribo has collected Web3 job openings that have remained unfilled for over a month, aiming to reach out to those companies and explore whether a talent match analysis—based on developers’ actual work—could help them find the right candidate.

Whether you're looking for Web3 roles or seeking to hire top Web3 expertise, you can message the Contribo team on Telegram — @JuanRah or @AlexusNavas — or reach out via Discord.
