We want to make sure women founders, esp. those who are underrepresented, aren't left behind. This is why we aim to become the Ycombinator for women in web3 - except we'll be using our new venture builder model. One that is community-owned, and DEIBA-oriented.
The venture builder experience is for those who want to learn, prototype and venture in the same web3 vertical together:
Cohort 1: Learn 🌱
Cohort 2: Prototype 🌿
Cohort 3: Venture 🌻
Members receive a dynamic, Proof-of-Work NTT (aka credential token) for each cohort they complete. Alumni will have the knowledge, experience, validation, network, and actionable next steps to venture in web3.
To bring our venture builder to life, we're building a portal where members can shape the experience based on credential tokens they've earned.

Project Description
There were 200+ projects that applied for SC05, and only 16 projects were accepted into the cohort. Seed Club's success, a16z's launch of Crypto Startup School, and BFF Entrepreneurs makes it clear that everyone is eager to build web3.
