1/ Spoken with a number of amazing teams who are building important infrastructure for the crypto space but there isn’t a clear way to monetize. Here is a list of the grant programs I’m aware of. Please add others if I missed any!
2/ - Ethereum Foundation blog.ethereum.org/2015/04/07/dev…
- Zcash Foundation z.cash.foundation/grants/
- Aragon Nest github.com/aragon/nest
- Tezos Commons Foundation tezoscommons.org/grants.html
3/ - Stellar stellar.org/lumens/stellar…
- Protocol Labs protocol.ai/blog/ann-resea…
- The Stable Fund (L4 and MakerDAO) stable.fund
4/ Not a grants program but if you eventually plan on monetizing and want to focus on building useful infrastructure first, Coinbase Ventures is backing teams that move the space forward in a positive, meaningful way. ventures.coinbase.com

1/ Narrative that got my parents to understand cryptocurrencies (took many conversations and patience):

If you were to create ideal money from scratch (forget what we know now), you’d want it to be 1) Digital b/c you don’t want to carry your coins or change around. *nods head*
2/ 2) Global b/c you don’t want to exchange your money every time you go to a new country. *nods head* 3) Out of the control of third parties b/c you don’t want things like governments or banks to tell you when you can use your money, take it away, or keep printing more. *why?*
3/ Well some countries like China have very strict capital controls and you can’t even move out your own money. In history women have been denied from even owning bank accounts. You can’t move your money out when the banks are closed.

1/ Protocols, funds, and large #crypto companies are either thinking about or are in the process of launching their own incubators and startup accelerators. Some will be protocol specific; others will be agnostic. Here's the case for why and when this will/won't make sense.
2/ First off, while this is a new trend, history rhymes, and we may have seen this movie (or at least a similar one) before: the rise, fall, and refactoring of corporate innovation labs and corporate accelerator programs over the last 10 years.
3/ While #crypto is certainly different and its properties as a open platform will enable new types of opportunities, specifically around collaboration, interoperability, and cross-chain asset exchange, there are still many learnings we can draw from corporate labs/accelerators.
