💪 Building with RnDAO
The traditional startup journey is broken. At RnDAO, we’ve designed a model to change that. Instead of solo founders guessing their way forward, we offer a venture studio experience: validated startup ideas, experienced collaborators, opportunities for early capital, and a collaborative Swarm ecosystem.
In this article, we introduce our Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) program—how it works, who it’s for, and why it’s a better way to build in CollabTech.
Whether you’re a solo founder or looking for your next idea, you don’t need a team or a polished pitch deck to start. You just need drive—and we’ll build the rest together.

💡 Updates from RnDAO Ventures
CONTRIBO
This Week at Contribo
- Contribo designed a quick prototype for the gig workflow, which will soon be shared on their Twitter.
- The team reframed one of their core hypotheses around Ideal Customer Profile and pain points, shifting focus toward inefficiencies in hiring—such as long time-to-hire, costly mis-hires, and friction in validating developer skills.
- They crafted 6–10 questions and reached out to founders and CTOs to invite them to interviews to validate the reframed version.
- The team started production of an explainer video on how hiring can look different when validated through paid, async gigs.
Fair AI
From Logo Refresh to Client Calls
Fair AI is in the process of updating its logo to better reflect its focus on innovation and credibility. This refresh will bring the visual identity closer in line with how the team wants to be perceived externally while staying consistent with their long-term direction.
The learning-in-public initiative is still moving steadily, and readers can follow the journey through their latest post.
On the campaign side, Fair AI has seen encouraging traction since last week. Three new calls have been scheduled, and the team has already had productive conversations with two potential clients, further reinforcing the progress being made through ongoing campaigns.
👥 New Faces at RnDAO
This week, two new members joined, including:
- A founder of a platform enabling performance-based marketing on X
