Details

At Web42, we believe in the power of voice (especially the vox populi.) Right now we are working to get our first dApp (decentralized application), KynGarden, to alpha. Going forward we would like to develop several routes for largely organic marketing that will support its growth and Web42's social purpose.

To this effect, we are interested in creating a vlog or podcast related to topics like neighborhoods, the rise of local, public interest tech, civil society, social sciences (especially group theory and governance) and similar.

We would love to partner with you to:

- Assess what format to use

â—‹ Best for topics, strained time resources, etc.

- Work some awesome content

- Maybe have some voice-overs and interviews done by you

- Work on social media related to this

This project is really grassroots meets bleeding edge public interest tech-centric. We would especially love to partner with people who will be really excited about contributing to that.

No deliverables exist for this project.
Mentorship

Of the top of our heads, we think we can do a few different things:

  • meeting as needed with just set milestone meetings
  • quick check-ins, SCRUM style, at set times (so 5-10 mins) MWF or TuTh
  • weekly or bi-weekly check-ins, 30-1 hr

Open to alternatives and also open to student assigning us work to aid in project.
