We're a community of entrepreneurs, builders and innovators advocating for fair and commonsense rules in Web3 and blockchain technology in America.

More than 90 percent of America's blockchain startups have less than 50 teammates and we must ensure a clear lane to meaningful participation. We believe that America's best interests are served by a robust innovative sector which includes startups and solo entrepreneurs.

"Web3 is only getting started."

FOUND3R, a U.S. grassroots coalition of web3 entrepreneurs, builders and innovators focused on shifting the Web3 narrative in Washington, hosted a town hall event at Bright Moments Gallery in New York City.

It was the first event of its kind coordinated by the industry to educate policymakers and talk about all of web3’s capabilities, not just crypto. Across the two days, the founders of the Stand With Crypto Alliance broke into cohorts and led round-table discussions where they shared their projects and why they care about this technology to help humanize the space. David All was one of the founders present. The long-time political operative and CEO of the nonpartisan web3 coalition FOUND3R, All’s work with ChangeDAO was acknowledged in the Coinbase Giving program. With his previous experience with communications roles in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives, and multiple web3 startups, he’s a conduit for both sides.
