About Funding the Commons
We build a bridge between builders and researchers focused on transforming the funding mechanisms for public goods.
By bridging diverse communities from Web2, Web3, research, philanthropy, and industry, we aim to cultivate a sustainable ecosystem.
Our focus is on the development of independent thought-leadership, and the integration of funding platforms, strategic allocation of resources, and the incubation of projects with significant potential across the public goods landscape.
Funding the Commons has made significant progress since 2021 in its initiatives, as evidenced by the successful hosting of residencies (Berlin Builder Residency 2023), 8 international conferences, numerous public goods funding hackathons, as well as the incubation of various impact projects. Previous events included public goods thought-leaders such as Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum), Juan Benet (Protocol Labs), Kevin Owocki (Gitcoin), Karl Floersch (Optimism), Sarah Horowitz (Freelancers Union), Jaan Tallinn (Skype, Future of Life Institute & Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, CSER, at Cambridge University), Isabela Fernandes (Tor Project), Tom Kalil (Schmidt Ventures), and many more.
