What’s Going On
We added two pages to the website today which kind of also work as a general update on what we have been up to the last few cycles. One about decentralization (blockchain) and one about our community initiatives.
Founders Dojo Decentralization Initiative
The Dojo community has been involved in the decentralization and open source software movement since the early days. We believe in your right to a free and safe internet. Our advocacy work is around decentralization. Decentralization is the process of distributing or delegated authority away from a central group to the users or community.
With Dojo projects like Quantstamp, and Akash leading the way, we are proud and excited to offer special support for projects committed to decentralization. We were pioneers in the space and now we are recognized experts.
We work with new or existing projects across all aspects of the process including capital and talent acquisition, project design, tokenomics, content and community development, technology, policy, launch and growth.
Projects
The Dojo is the founding organization for this leading decentralization and blockchain advocacy organization. Dojans have testified and advocated in front of multiple legislative and regulatory bodies in California, Wyoming and Washington D.C. in favor of decentralization and appropriate blockchain regulation and policy.
Software Decentralization Initiative
We believe that a computer should belong to and be controlled by the owner from the hardware up. We are committed to helping new and existing software projects decentralize.
Rave OS
One of the first ways that computer owners lose control of their machines is when they run inefficient or fat operating systems. On the decentralized web this is a waste of GPU and an unacceptable loss of ownership. The solution is to decentralize the Operating System The Rave operating system is designed to give computer owners 100% control and ownership of their computer’s “work”.
RaveOs is currently used by 100,000 miners to manage the compute for 500,000 gpus. Approximately 2% of all Ether mining is done on Rave. We are working with the Rave team to launch a decentralized operating system to let the community and users control how the OS evolves.
Dojo Dfinity
Dfinity is The world's first frictionless blockchain with web speed and internet scale. We offer projects building on the Internet Super Computer a unique and customized start up program centered around the unique opportunities available to developers on ICP and Dojo’s advanced expertise in software development and deployment, decentralized finance, blockchain and crypto economics. You may apply directly online via Dfinity’s Grant Application and use FoundersDojo as your referral.
Founders Dojo Community Initiatives
We strive to accomplish amazing things in all aspects. Community support, pro bono, advocacy and charitable initiatives are our driving mission.

ODL is an award-winning legal aid nonprofit working to show that poverty will be dramatically reduced when everyone has access to the law. ODL has been a Dojo project since 2016, like all projects we provide talent, ideas and capital to help them continue to prove their hypothesis that universal access to legal representation is THE best poverty disrupter available to policy makers.
Using metrics from the Robinhood foundation, ODL found that every dollar spent on universal legal services generates $6.6 in direct benefit to their clients and $14.7 in benefit to the larger community. This totals to $21 in total SROI for every dollar spent, making their services one of the most cost effective anti-poverty solutions.
Lincoln University is a 100+ year old not for profit, business college located in downtown Oakland, CA, it primarily serves the local community and international students. Founders Dojo partners with Lincoln to mentorship to staff and students, innovation in programing and engagement with the community. Congrats to all the recent graduates.
Founders Dojo is also advising on the formation and launch of the Lincoln University Basketball Program. As reported the team will be launching led by Basketball Hall of Fame player and coach Gary Payton.
