👥 Monthly Community Call

Last week we hosted the monthly RnDAO Community Call. We presented our new community partner EthMexico, and introduced RnDAO’s new venture, The Agency, focused on research.

Common Ground demoed their community platform and answered live questions from the audience before we launched into an engaging speed networking session.

Check out the slides here to catch up on RnDAO and our ventures updates. We’ll be sharing the Common Ground demo recording soon.

Don’t miss the next call on September 4th, where you can meet and connect with the broader ecosystem! RSVP now.

💡 Updates from RnDAO Ventures

Harmonica

Emerging from Build Mode with some powerful features

Harmonica has been building in stealth for the past few months and now shares some updates. These include toning down their AI’s overwhelming positivity and enabling it to ask natural follow-ups (based on user guidance, of course). They’ve also launched a new dashboard and added the ability for hosts to customize system prompts directly.

The team is running personal co-design sessions for the first 100 users who book a session design call.

TogetherCrew

Turning Bull Market Momentum into Lasting Growth

TogetherCrew helps turn the rush of a bull market into lasting community strength. When attention and users come fast, it’s important to focus on building real connections that stick.


How the tool can help:

  • AI Assistant for quick member support
  • Track progress, with powerful community analytics
  • Personalized nudges to keep members involved

See this product demo to learn how it can help your project:

CONTRIBO

Contribo Pilot Call

Last week, Contribo sharpened one of its hypotheses: small tech teams can vet developers faster and more accurately through real, paid gigs from their own backlog. They are now looking for companies to pilot with—if you know one (or are one), please contact them here or via their channel on discord.

Fair AI

Website Refresh

Last week, Fair AI announced that updates to its website were underway. This week, the team is excited to share that the new version is now live. The refreshed site better reflects the messaging that has resonated the most.
