Getting a lot of questions around our experience at @alliancedao with @EthosWalletXYZ . Sharing some thoughts here in hopes it helps other founders in the process of deciding whether to join. 1/x
First, some context on me: as a founder, I thrive in high-quality curated communities. I love when founder peers and mentors challenge and constructively critique my hypotheses, and I'm a voracious learner and near infinitely curious. 2/x
Earlier communities I benefited a lot from in past exploration phases, especially as I developed and defined a problem space and idea, include @southpkcommons @pearvc FFC and @RenCo_Community . I'd strongly encourage folks check these out and h/t to PearX, which just launched 3/x
Alliance DAO supports all stages of founders, and we benefited a lot from being in execution mode on @EthosWalletXYZ where we were rapidly launching and learning, with our Chrome extension installs and usage growing from 0 to 32k+ during ALL9 (now >70k users one month later) 4/x
In terms of interviews, be prepared to go deep with mentors like @QwQiao and @rriccio on specific vision, strategy and execution questions. e.g. Qiao had immediately actionable feedback on our new developer education content on the Ethos blog medium.com/@ethoswallet 5/x
Speaking of content, you can get a more than reasonable sense of the Alliance team's strengths by looking at their content -- @QwQiao again stood out here, with his thoughts on "Hybrid Semi-Custodial Wallets" (which still gets sent to us because it's so close to our vision). 6/x
It's like a cheat code to check out the content before you join as a way to get to know the Alliance team. In terms of the experience once you join, there's a few highlights to emphasize. 7/x
First and most importantly is the community. Get to know your mentor, the Alliance team, your founder peers, and the wider alumni and partner network. They're all rooting for you and will go above and beyond to help, e.g. @DangerWillRobin giving in-depth feedback on our dApp 8/x
Second, there are great opportunities to ask questions (both on and off the record) to some of the brightest minds in the ecosystem. In our cohort, two standouts were a Q&A with @aeyakovenko and a podcast with the #Sui team from @mysten_labs with @lmrankhan and Qiao. 9/x
Third, the demo day is a great way to (re)connect with folks in the wider venture and builder communities. We ended up having wonderful surprises like seeing Sui allstar @kohkim in our breakout room, along with some of the @a16z crypto team, and getting to chat Sui 10/x
TL;DR: if you're in-process for interviewing for ALL10 cohort of @alliancedao and think it could benefit your stage or what you're building, I'd recommend this experience. 11/x
Final thought: before we accepted our place in the ALL9 cohort, we were given the advice that if it isn't a "H*LL YES" it's a no. It's a significant time investment, for both you and the Alliance team. Founders, do your diligence. And if this is for you, then welcome ✨ 12/12.
Bonus: two final web3/crypto groups that IMO are excellent for founders who enjoy being part of strong builder and operator community are @jericho_gg and @chainforestxyz (h/t to @0xVladimir and @kiyokb for encouraging me to join the former and @AmitMukherjee for the latter) 🙏
