atriumacademy

Some teams spend $100K on a hackathon…  

Then 3 months later, 2 devs are still active.  
We're not onboarding devs. We’re burning through them.

We built atrium.academy to fix this.  
→ Curation of an accelerator  
→ Spirit of a hackathon  
→ Intensity of a bootcamp  

The results for our first program speak for themselves. 

As we grow we want to lean *more onchain*.  
→ Our grads receive acceptance / graduation NFTs  
→ Future cohorts will receive USDC prizes  
→ We tested Warpcast for UHI1 /uniswaphooks but feature sent wasn't ready then

Super fired up seeing Snapshot Labs pass along a full 🤯 60 percent 🤯 of funds they've received to support their software dependencies (they kept just 40% for themselves). 

Huge 🙌 to Snapshot and Drips for making this a thing.

The world's best builders will increasingly choose web3 backends because it puts people first.

And putting people first will WIN, in the long term.

Bringing web3 to the masses is a distraction

Bringing web3 to the builders is how we win.
