Bored Apes, World of Women, Friends with Benefits.

Communities are key to success in web3.

And 'to make it' you have to build the right one.

Why COMMUNITY is POWER and how to BUILD one that WINS:🧵

According to @alexisohanian previously founder of @reddit and now @sevensevensix

"The most successful web3 projects will be based on the strength of the community."

In this ep of @_trwih with @SahilBloom and @gregisenberg

Ohanian breaks down why community is the future of business.

"90% of the next wave of successful startups are going to start with a Minimum Viable Community."

In web3 the power of community to unleash possibilities is pretty inescapable.

Mastering community building is clearly the power move in web3.

Here are some powerful tools and resources that help:

Minimum Viable Community

MVC is the smallest action you can take to bring people together and validate your community idea.

Be experimental.

Do people want to join you? What do people want from you?

Test. Learn. Iterate.

Examples of Minimum Viable Community

Newsletter, Twitter Spaces, podcast, Discord server.

Anywhere you can start an honest and authentic conversation.

Be Clear on the WHO, WHAT, WHY & HOW

A powerful framework for this is the Minimum Viable Community Canvas.

Designed by @pforti the MVC canvas is a step-by-step framework for community building from scratch.
