Orange DAO

Orange DAO is one of the most energetic groups in the web3 space, which unites over 1,400 members of founders and investors interested in exploring and growing the decentralized web. Orange DAO actively invests, through the Orange Fund, in some of the most promising teams in crypto, with about 200 such investments thus far. Along with the investment branch, the Orange DAO fund runs the Orange DAO Fellowship program by founders for founders to provide crypto entrepreneurs with a supportive atmosphere.

The DAO has a portfolio with 219 investments, including 23 successful exits.

The Fellowship program by OrangeDAO demonstrates further commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship within the web3 ecosystem. It provides a $100,000 investment and charges a 2% program fee, giving it a structured approach to supporting startups. "We welcome the fellowship because it connects founders with their first customers and provides early pivotal funding for them," shared Derek Chiang, Co-Founder of ZeroDev.

The OrangeDAO model represents a whole new frontier in the waves of collaborative investments and support where the collective expertise and network of the community exponentially amplifies the growth and success of its portfolio companies. This approach accelerates the development of transformative web3 technologies while bringing into the ecosystem a strong founder base well-placed to drive the future of DeFi and applications.
