BEYOND GRANTS VENTURES
Leveraging experience across blockchain ecosystems like NEAR and NXT, this initiative focuses on restructuring grant programs to create sustainable, impact-driven ecosystems. With a proven track record—90% of funded projects showing real progress, over half accepted into accelerator programs, and all successfully launching on mainnet—the goal is to diversify blockchain foundations' revenue streams and reduce reliance on token reserves. By scaling grant programs, even on smaller budgets, the initiative supports protocols in achieving long-term growth and sustainability.
TLDR;
1. Many blockchain foundations deplete their token reserves over time.
2. Most Web3 and crypto startups die off even after receiving grants.
We are here to solve this

The problems aren't over: This is why
  • Many founders perceive grants as free money.
  • This perception often reduces their incentive to continue building after receiving funding.
  • Some founders treat grant applications and airdrops as their primary revenue source, exploiting them like an infinite money glitch.
  • Others use grants as a substitute for venture capital funding, rather than a catalyst for long-term growth.

The Solution : We have a plan
Our Approach:
Blockchain foundations shouldn’t be just burning through funds—they need to diversify their revenue streams. Over-reliance on token reserves can be dangerous, and constant fundraising isn’t a sustainable option.
Equally,Grants should be the starting point, not the endpoint, for projects. Projects should use grants as a launchpad but must find ways to survive beyond them, rather than relying solely on continuous grant funding.

We have done this before
Why We Can Help:
With experience from ecosystems like NEAR, NXT, and venture capital, We know how to scale and restructure grants and investment programs to make an impact—even with smaller budgets like $1M grant programs.
