Funding the Commons moved to an in-person event in New York in June 2022! The 2-day summit on June 24th and 25th was for individuals and organizations building new models of sustainable public goods funding and value alignment in open source networks. Our goal with this event and future ones is to bridge the public goods community across Web2, Web3, research, philanthropy and industry.
In New York, Funding The Commons featured several events with partners:
June 24: "Impact Capitalism" speaker series and workshop (Co-hosted by Fifty Years)
Watch Impact Capitalism Recordings
June 25: Schelling Point Pop Up Unconference (Hosted by Gitcoin) and Tephra Labs workshop
